ninjamyst Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 2500 pictures later.... I hit my bed and passed out. Now it's time to edit. I took pics for a friend's wedding once. The stress of not getting that perfect shot was too much for me to handle. How did yours go?? Sorry about the Kat. LPS / softies can still make a beautiful tank! Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 I took pics for a friend's wedding once. The stress of not getting that perfect shot was too much for me to handle. How did yours go?? Sorry about the Kat. LPS / softies can still make a beautiful tank! It went smoother than I thought. The pre-wedding was just standard portrait posing. The ceremony was tricky, but I had a second photographer helping me out. I had my list of shots from the bride that she wanted so I sacrificed others to get those. In the end I got what I wanted. All the stereotypical wedding shots (bride entering, groom looking at the bride, altar shots, ring exchange, vows, first kiss, and the exit). I missed some of the bridal party exits, but I wasn't planning on giving her those pictures anyway since I spent a lot of time doing portraits of the wedding party before and after the ceremony anyways. I'll post some of them, once I finish them. It looks like it was a few branches of the kat. They've been fragged off and we'll see what happens next. This is a picture I got.

Rehype Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thanks man, after tragedy after tragedy in this hobby. My motivation and confidence is rapidly declining. I totally understand...been there quite a few times myself. Sometimes just taking a long break is the best medicine. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Sorry to see all the difficulties. Hope you get the enthusiasm back again... 1 Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Really sad to see this Roger. Maybe you will come back with a smaller setup where you live. Being away from the tank doesn't help because you cant enjoy it. I thought after i took my 29 down i wouldn't set up another tank, but i literally do zero maintenance on my current tank and it keeps me in the hobby which we all love. 1 Quote Link to comment
RollaJase Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'm really sorry to hear this Roger. I've been in this exact situation but I can't imagine not being there to be able to try and rectify things in person. I hope that after things settle down that we see you back with a vengeance. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Thanks guys. We'll see, right now I'm spending more emotional energy on photography than anything else. It's just so painful to look at these tanks, and my old pictures and my TOTM profile. I even avoid my reef Instagram and YouTube. If it comes back I hope I can do better. 1 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Happy to see the tank still up If I was home, it wouldn't be. Luckily my parents kept up with it and everything seems to be doing okay. Just miss the TOTM level tank. Nothin wrong with a lil messy. Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I like it. It looks filled in but not overgrown, and the colors are beautiful. 3 Quote Link to comment
RollaJase Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I know them feels bro, Chris Marks approached me for TOTM while my tank was on a downwards spiral. The last thing I wanted to do was take photos and write about it. The worst feeling is looking back at how it was and not understanding why it still isn't like that. Glad to see the tank is still up and running, I'm sure it will bounce back. 3 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 If I was home, it wouldn't be. Luckily my parents kept up with it and everything seems to be doing okay. Just miss the TOTM level tank.
