Korbin Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Wow, awsome. I want to print those out and make a poster! They look really good all together like that. I especially like the discosoma and briarium. Do you have any larger versions of them? Link to comment
adinsxq Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 hey thanks for all the comments, i really appreciate it. most of the macros were taken at my LFS. the 'shroom (6/03) and galaxea (12/02), in a frag tank (8" deep) under NO lighting, the bubble and hammer (6/03) in a larger, show tank under 6x55w PC 50/50 mix of 10000k-w/7100k-b. the bubble was slightly in the shadows and very deep (2.5') which may be why there's a bluish cast. the hairy 'shroom and gsp from a third, smaller tank (20g) under 2x55 of the same mix of light. the yuma, candy, and briareum (yes, i'm making a distinction because it does not act or look like my other 5 "gsp" morphs) are currently in my own nano lit by 2x9w of 7100k-w/12000k-b realux PC. image (194Kb) that's how the files looked pre-cropped. each original image is 2048x1536 pixels and file size varies anywhere from 0.5mb to 1.5mb taken in jpeg format and dependent on what "quality" setting i use. i added some little boxes with photoshop so you can see where the crop comes from and in most cases cut the image length in half (~1000pi). from what i've learned about printing digital files, that's not going to quite cut it unless pehaps i start taking *.tiffs. i own one of sony's early generation "dye-sublimation" (what photo labs use) printers, but the dye-sublimation cartridges and and paper are far too expensive for or else i'd send some prints, korbin. if anybody would like me to send them the full sized file or full sized crop, please PM me. oh yeah, in case anyone is interested, the camera is a nikon coolpix 885. it's a nice little digicam, but it's taken me since i purchased it in november to finally learn how to adjust all the CMS settings so i get the effect i like without having to manipulate the images later (editing pictures increases artifacts and sacrifices detail - bad for prints). i like the contrast of stark black backgrounds (i.e. the cave behind the briareum) or out-of-focus pastel-backgrounds (i.e. gsp shot at an upward angle). only problem with the 885 is how it reacts to 03 (near UV) or low light conditions... makes everything pink. (which is why i took out my hellolights bulbs ). 03 effect macro lenses are cool, but you don't really need one. proof? fant's clam shots (wow). Coral Banded Link to comment

Mnesarchus Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 It's so hip how you have just the genus name then the very sylishly cropped image. I feel like I should be drinking some really expensive coffee and driving a VW Westfalia Brilliant pics friend, keep them coming. Shrooms look especially nice up close. Link to comment

MrKrispy Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 AWESOME photos! Very good range of corals, I wish there was an article here that had a bunch of these types of photos for beginners. Sometimes it is easier to open a new window with photos than to go find a book and type at the same time! Time to start on the sps adinsxq! Link to comment
