Got a chance to take some pictures this afternoon. Only a few turned out.

A recent addition - Aussie Duncan:

Hahaha..thanks! That's awhile from now, I'm sure there will be some great shots posted before then.

It was way too hard to pass up on that duncan...

[coralreefer]

I agree, great looking duncan. Keep feeding it routinely and you will have a few heads in no time.

[Zibba]

I've target fed it mysis a few times, but mostly just been letting it do it's own thing to get acclimated to the light. Is 1-2 times/week appropriate or can they be fed more often?

[BonesReef]

The growth on the birdsnest is impressive. Are you running a reactor or using 2part?

[Zibba]

2 part only.

[Turf]

I like it, very cool looking Duncan also.

[MAXreefer]

Great pictures besides the nice corals!!

Now the usual question:
What camera?
And I guess Photoshop?

Nikon d40x. Nikkor 105 VR lens.

I shoot in RAW because it's easier to adjust white balance in photoshop. So that answers your third question - Photoshop CS3.

Nice pictures. Can you post your photo equipment and settings if you have them?

Also, if you ever frag the birdsnest (drooool), I would be very interested.

Thanks

Thanks Scott.

photo equip was listed. if you have more questions on that let me know.

f/36, 1/13 s, ISO 800, 105 mm for the pink bird shot

Shooting in RAW - I need to adjust the temperature to about 10k. I also unsharp mask and sometimes reduce noise using Imagenomic (plug in for PS CS3).

I'll let you know when I frag it. The colors on it really pop with the new t5 set up I got - which has an ATI Pro Color bulb in the mix.

Thanks! I definately need to work on my photo skills (these pics are motivating!). Not used to all the bells on the digital SLR + extreme novice in photoshop. Far cry from the B&W basics.

[Lando]

Great shots!

[KPAX]

Very nice! Is the Duncan coral difficult to keep? Does anyone else have them? This is the first I've seen of it.

[Ly]

Great pics. Love the duncan.

[Fish'InMN]

Excellent shots all around, though the duncans do look a little over PS'd. :biggrin:

JK!

I'll take that as a compliment!

[Flounder]

Very Nice!! I like the duncan! Rose Milli is pretty sweet too!

[Tifosi]

Great pics and that is one sweet Duncan!

I think 1-2 times a week is perfect. You could probably do more but I don't think it is necessary. I've been feeding mine mysis also.

[David Grigor]

The birdsnest, new growth definately looks like it mostly gets current from one direction.

[Zibba]

Most of the flow that it receives is from the right side moving to the left. Pumps cycle on 8 hr increments (right 8hrs, left 8hrs, both 8hrs).

[HermitSolo]

Nice pics Eric! Do you have any full tank shots?

[Zibba]

Thanks Bill, I'll try to take some this evening.

[mattb]
