I thought I would share some photos from my 120 here in addition to the thread I have on RC, since I'm spending more time here.

Awesome pics. what kind of camera are you using to take those.

Some experimentation with 2 - 3 second exposures with all pumps on to try and capture dynamic polyp movement, I like the effect.

Man.....I cant believe it but your pics are getting even better.  This is some of the best coral photography I've ever seen.

How are you getting that crazy dark contrast Jordan?

 

[jmonker]

Stunning :drool: :drool:

Thanks guys, these are taken with a Canon 7D and Tamron 90mm 2.8 macro lens.

Many of my corals are from Darryl... undata, hawkins, sunset milli, confusa, cyphastrea, green cap, palmer's blue.  Some are from other reefers and a few are from IA.

As for contrast Darryl, I don't do anything special... I do try and underexpose by a stop or two which may look it more contrasty.  Also, in some pics, I do go to the "strong contrast" option in LR3 (the default is "medium"). 

Here is the most recent FTS I have:

Sweet tank man!!!! Yours should be the next TOTM on RC instead of Eugene's!!!!
.....I see they just can't help but leave Darryl's up there on the main page as long as possible.....I can't blame them!

What fish do you got in there??

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yes, it is different than when you were over.  I can't recall specifically when you came but for a while there things got out of control with my skimmer and nutrient levels, corresponding pretty much with right around when my son was born.  I've cleared out a lot of stuff and tried to make it a cleaner look.  Things are much improved but I'm still battling some cyano.  The bubble algae I had previously seems to be under better control as well.  There is always something!

Nice to see Darryl's up there still, I was afraid they were going to leave it up for a short period only given how late they were in getting it up.  My tank is no where near the TOTM on RC let alone any other site, I think that would be doing Darryl's tank and others injustice, his certainly is a cut above. 

For fish I've got 5 lyretail anthias, a PBT, YT, Regal Angel, CBB, blue sided fairy wrasse, Cherub Angel, 2 tomato clowns, and a long-nosed hawkfish.
