Nice stuff enigma, what type of post-processing techniques are you using? Looks a bit HDRish.

I edit the RAW in Lightroom then export to Photoshop and run it through various filters. I absolutely LOVE Topaz Adjust 4 at the moment.

I haven't played with any filters for a while, but that seems like an excellent filter. Normally, I just edit in layers in cs5.

Nice shoot like always enigma .. BTW, can you share what camera setting you use for macro shoot ?? I have Canon 60mm too, but cant shoot as good as you ..

 

thx

Thanks, there's not really a single magic setting that I use. I always shoot in manual mode and have raw as the file format. Then I edit in lightroom to set the white balance and play with the tonal curve to bring out or hide the details that I want. I'm no expert but the best advise that I think I can give is research everything you can about photography and take tons and tons of pictures.

Lots of eye candy in your thread which is great. You can really see how your photography skills have increased from the beginning of the thread to now. I do wish you had some more current pictures of the FTS and some others that show the scape.

Wow... after seeing the pics on this page, I had to go back to the beginning to see everything. Simply amazing.

 

How are your fish doing? That pygmy hawkfish is so cute. Did you ever decide to get any replacements for the DOAs from liveaquaria?

 

Just to reiterate - WOW. omgomgomg

Thanks for the kind words everyone. :)

 

This tank just blows me away. woah!!! You must enter into 3 and under pico contest.

Well.. the tank is 7.5g and one month away from being 2 years old. ;)

FTS! FTS! FTS!

Eh, no FTS until things get back on track. The tank is in pretty bad shape right now. All of the zoas in the tank except for the brown ones are slowly melting away for some unkown reason. A third of my sps is in pretty bad shape because the P.O.S. tailspot is constantly grazing on the polyps. :angry: He's probably going to get the death sentence if I can figure out how to catch him. Once he's gone it will probably be another 2 months before things get back to normal and I feel comfortable showing the tank off again..

The pygmy is doing great but the tailspot has turned out to be a coral eater. I'm actually on my third try at adding a new fish. I made the mistake of buying a super tiny panda goby that simply disapeared. Next came a black clown goby that ended up taking a water slide into the sump where he was eaten by the skimmer. Currently the latest is a small green banded goby that seems to be doing ok for now but I've only had him for a few weeks. Except for the pygmy hawk, I've had the worst luck with fish.

 

The "new" guy.
