seahorsedreams Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 It's hard to get a good picture of this guy because of his coloring... he always shows up as a yellow blob. But here he looks so cute peeking up over the turbo I had to share. Link to comment
irishtexan Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Cool mantis! How big is it? Link to comment
juin21 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I don't know If I'd call a snails butt cute, but the mantis looks neat! Oh wait nm... Link to comment
ENraged Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I love the banana mantis very cool Link to comment
seahorsedreams Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 He's about 3 - 3.5" Does anyone know how to grab a pic of them that shows detail? They fluoresce so much I just can't get the detail and have managed to pull off only a couple of decent pics. Link to comment
justinl Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 nice P. ciliata! I love their bright yellow morph. as for how to get a decent pic... just take LOTS. that's the only advise i can give. Link to comment
seahorsedreams Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have a 4GB card.... lots is all I know. But for the most part they all turn out as above even if I manipulate it as a CRW file. Link to comment
seahorsedreams Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 doesn't work, as you "darken" the photo you just get a darker undetailed blob. Link to comment
MWafler Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 doesn't work, as you "darken" the photo you just get a darker undetailed blob. Macro Mode with a manual Focus for up close shots, as well as watching the exposure/shutter speed.... Link to comment
c est ma Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I think those shots are fantastic! Not just in quality but in expression...such a cool shrimp! And that must be a giant turbo... --Diane Link to comment
Toomin Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Does them taste good with tar tar sauce? Link to comment
seahorsedreams Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Does them taste good with tar tar sauce? EW! NO!!! A nice spicy cocktail dip. I think those shots are fantastic! Not just in quality but in expression...such a cool shrimp! And that must be a giant turbo... --Diane Thanks Diane. Ya, it's of those softball size guys... there's nothing in the mantis tank for him to bulldoze. Link to comment
justinl Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 funny you should mention that. mantis shrimp are actually a popular cantonese dish called shako. apparently they are really nice with roasted peppers, butter and crushed garlic... mmm. *runs off to the lfs* Link to comment
