Graham

[phistio]

a few quick ones...

[phistio]

not quite macro...but cool picture, nontheless...

[k1]

few of my photos

[BigE]

Wow, those are some nice macros of acros... :lol: :lol: :roll:
ok... here's some of mine

[phistio]

caught this gorgonian totally open at my LFS...had to snap a pic!

(technical note: you can see the advantage of having digital and optical zoom...notice how this picture degrades as the digital zoom is used... :( )

[Irisservice]

Can you guys expain how you setup your cameras to get awesome shots?

[refferdude]

DITTO! These are awesome pics.

[reefrunner]

not quite macro...but cool picture, nontheless...

Not real sure what you consider macro, but a simple definition is once you are so close that the object is larger (and in focus) than it is in real life...it's macro.
Phistio, if that pic of the anemone shrimp isn't macro....that's the biggest damn anemone shrimp in the history of the SW hobby.

here is a decent one of my button polyps.

[phistio]

in that case...i have tons of macro pictures...lol :wink:

[phistio]

yay! with the new new s602, and lots more to learn about and play with...

(i need to clean my glass!)

[rjburr14]

Beautiful pictures. Can you guys post what camera you are using and your techniques? Lights on? lights off? flash, etc? Thanks.

[Fiji Live Rock]

Here are a couple with my Sony 717...I took some also with my Cannon A2 SLR but will have to develop the photos first. :wink:

Sponge of some sort.

http://www.aquaticrealmsllc.com/images/fish/DSC00664.JPG
Keep in mind that my LTA is right next to the glass and this is one of 2 brand new Tank Raised Tomato Clowns hosting in it. That fish is only 1" long.

Polyps (New ones...growing big and fat on a lonely rogue rock.)

[Fiji Live Rock]

You're pics are astounding, whats you're setup and how long have you been doing this ?

[ssgibby]

Man I look at these pics, and I look at mine and I think. " All I have are silly pics of crabs" LOL.. Great Pics Guys!!!

[phistio]

i was diggin through a disc with a ton of photos on it, and thought i would share some of these. these are all taken from my friend Spikereef's (http://www.reeflounge.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=590) tank.

[nanoman123]

those are awsome :shock:

[Telco Guy]

I second that! :!: :D Some more good photos that could be nice desktop wallpaper.

:idea: Maybe we should create a page of images for desktop wallpaper.

[rubins]

I knew I should have bought the 10 by optical zoom!!!
these are fantastic photos I look forward to more, and more...

[Fugly]

Test macros

[Sandworm]

[Fiji Live Rock]

I was looking at my Rose Anemone that finally came to its senses :roll: :P and noticed a baby snail infront of my Hammer Coral (E. anchora).

Rose: (I still have 1 - small and 1 tiny left)

http://www.aquaticrealmsllc.com/images/my55/DSC00989a.jpg

Baby Snail: (Anyone know species/type?)

http://www.aquaticrealmsllc.com/images/my55/babysnail.jpg

[Sandworm]

Nice close shot on the snail, can you get one of its body or shell too?? Hard to tell by looking at its foot.. Lots of these things?

[jason gilman]

looks like a limpet to me,hence the complete shell covering.

[Fiji Live Rock]

Here is the outside of it. You can see the reflection too. :wink:

http://www.aquaticrealmsllc.com/images/my55/DSC00991a.jpg

[tangwang]

Yep, that's a limpet.

[phistio]

here's some night time macros.

(technical note:, in no way did i manipulate the color, hue, or saturation...these were taken at a low f-stop, and long shutter speed under true actinic lighting.)

[Bald Eagle]

:mrgreen:

[DerrickBrown]

Not a coral macro, but I think this should be considered a Macro of some sort. :) I had a slight algae problems as you can see also.

[bimmer]

:roll:

[stony]

Having a nice camera also helps thats if you spend more than 500-900 bucks for a nice one. I have a crappy one a Sony Cyber-shot 4.1MP. I wish it could take good close up but it sucks!

[Sea Squirt]

bimmer, those are awesome pictures!!

Just some xenias, because they're still my favorites..

[bimmer]

Ultra maxima

[Bald Eagle]

That is a very Sweet Clam. awesome shot. 8)

[bimmer]

thanks bald eagle... another new collection :D

[Nodbugger]

Nepthea - you can see the stubs where it has been self-fragging, and the large piece on the left that is not open will break off soon. Today alone I was able to collect 8 pieces off it. The thing keeps growing.

[NeMo TaNg]

tridacna crocea

[jknut]

Very nice shot! 8)

[AlgaeBoy]

green star polyp up close

[PVsPlayHouse]
