Tigahboy Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Oh great another Tigahboy thread with his magic camera. Looking great man. Thanks, man. Quote Link to comment
Sushi Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Maybe I missed it, any plans for SPS? That top section looks extremely barren... what's the plan for that section? Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Yup, top is for sps only. I'm also saving the space in front of dendro for some clams. (Basically it will look very similar to my old 30g). Just waiting for my tank to mature a lil before adding those. Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Some late night shots... Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hello there, stranger. Thanks for dropping by. Quote Link to comment
divecj5 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Awesome night shots Tigah...did you use the flash on the camera or an external light source? Look great either way...tack sharp and color is dead on. Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Oh. When I said "night shots" I meant it was late at night and I ran downstairs and turned on all the lights on my aquarium to take some photos. Quote Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Oh. When I said "night shots" I meant it was late at night and I ran downstairs and turned on all the lights on my aquarium to take some photos. Lol, we inspired you, huh? Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Haha. I needed to do something while I waited for Lalani to crack the code. Not sure if she ever cracked it tho. I came back on to find like a totally different group of ppl and Lalani had signed off. Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Awesome shots, Tigah! Sorry 'bout that. I don't think I'll be able to figure it out... at least not with the current tools we have. le sigh I needed my sleep.. I'm from the future, y'know. Quote Link to comment
Lawnman Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Looks great. The clown shot is CRAZY son. That shot is gonna win POTM soon as the theme is right. On post 454 the first photo top right corner is that the mouth with the feeder arms sticking out? My Favia has one of those and it does that all the time.Maybe it is starving? LOL Quote Link to comment

I don't think I'll be able to figure it out... at least not with the current tools we have. le sigh I needed my sleep.. I'm from the future, y'know. Haha. It's cool. Thanks for trying. Looks great.

My Favia has one of those and it does that all the time.Maybe it is starving? LOL Thanks! Hmm. Aside from the tube worm (at least I think it's a tube worm) sticking out of the favia, I only see a couple tiny feeder tentacles in that shot. Here's a better feeder tentacle shot. My poor favia doesnt get fed as much as the rest b/c it's soooo slow to extend its tentacles for food. And when it does, my nassarius snails steal it from it. Poor guy.

Weetabix7 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I really, really love that Favia, Tigah. Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Favia is def one of my favorites. I need to get him some favia buddies. He's all alone off to the side. Trying to keep him a good distance away from my acans. But with those sweepers, I'm really hesitant to put anything next to it. Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Well, I'm gonna go do some LFS rounds this afternoon. I really really hope they don't have anything good b/c I need to really pace myself with respect to pumping money into this tank. I just made a couple big purchases this past 2 days as well. I thought I was a recovered addict, but I guess I'm relapsing now. Sigh. But I do intend to pick up a photo box so I can take some top down photos at last. Quote Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Very nice macros, tigahboy! You've got a gift for them. Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Thanks, man! UPDATE: I just saw BOTH of my onyx clowns in the frogspawn! Happy Day! Quote Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Awesome pics Tigah!! I love the reflection from the T5s in your full tank shots. Sometimes it resembles a desert sunset and some angles it looks like an ocean view sunrise. Either way, it's very purdy. You have once again assembled one of my favorite tanks on NR Sir.

Thank you. love the colors, T! Thanks! Still in the middle of my LFS tour. Been able to fight the urge to buy corals, but we'll see. Still have 3 left on my stop. Quote Link to comment
MedRed Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Tigah... when you get a chance to look, can you tell me what all the settings are on your camera. Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Is there a particular setting u are looking for? My camera is usually on macro mode, custom white balance, vivid color, usually a low ISO (but sometimes automatic). The rest is default settings. And I usually also use a tripod to keep the camera absolutely still (that is very important if you want clear macros), but just using other things to prop the camera up for the time being until I can get a new tripod.

What did you shoot as reference for your custom white balance? Quote Link to comment
