seanoli Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Awesome. Mine started with one head three months ago and has 7 now. The main head isn't quite that big. Your tank is totally awesome, btw. Quote Link to comment
Rehype Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 So thought I would share a recent FTS of the tank. The tank is a little over a year old now and has had some setback but overall im happy where its at now and look to kick it into the next gear... More shots to follow 32 Quote Link to comment
cnseekatz Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I see you figured out how to photograph a tank under LEDs? Looks really great. I love the way the sand is piled up to the center pillar, just to the right of the acans... makes it look really natural. Also, all those gorgs... need to get me some gorgs! Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Yippee!! A shot head on!!! Just lovely, just as I imagined it'd be. 2 Quote Link to comment

Rehype Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Awesome. Mine started with one head three months ago and has 7 now. The main head isn't quite that big. Your tank is totally awesome, btw. I had one but now i have three but this main one is alot larger than the others. Im just curious as to how big he can get Thanks alot I appreciate it I see you figured out how to photograph a tank under LEDs? Looks really great. I love the way the sand is piled up to the center pillar, just to the right of the acans... makes it look really natural. Also, all those gorgs... need to get me some gorgs! Well the only way I can get pictures i like is to turn the royal blues all the down. Scaping the sand is just as important as scaping the rock IMO. My pistol helps alot although we sometimes have different tastes lol Yippee!! A shot head on!!! Just lovely, just as I imagined it'd be. Thanks so much oh wow i don't think I've seen the tank from this side. looks very nice Thanks alot hypo Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Fantastic entry shot to 2015, just beautiful Eugene. Love those cascading acans. Happy New Year. 4 Quote Link to comment
Amphiprion1 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Wow, on a different scale of top notch as always. Looks fantastic and the LEDs have approximated the halide look from before, which I also really like. Quote Link to comment
Rehype Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Turned off the blues completely, eh? Nah the deep blues are only at 25% while the royals are at 5% You have to dial the royal blues back considerably or the colors quickly shift toward purple.(which im not a fan of when taking pictures) Fantastic entry shot to 2015, just beautiful Eugene. Love those cascading acans. Happy New Year. Thanks so much kat really appreciate it! Wow, on a different scale of top notch as always. Looks fantastic and the LEDs have approximated the halide look from before, which I also really like. Thanks so much amph....I had to fiddle around with them a bit before I got that look but its pretty close i think. Its definitely not as bright and lacks the same shimmer lines as the halide but so far ive very happy with this fixture. Quote Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Yep... I use Dpp for editing RAW and for post i use lightroom Not sure what DPP is, I use Lightroom for everything. I have a Canon T2i with the kit lens and the nifty fifty. I do no color correction to my photos beyond adjusting the 'color temperature' slider to 10,900 in Lightroom and the pics are always true to life. RAW After adjusting that slider 4 Quote Link to comment
Rehype Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Very nice FTS! I'm digging the 10K look. Thanks alot micro! Im using one for my new build. Can you take a picture of what it looks like? Its a great skimmer. I dont currently have a picture of mine but it looks just like this. The only difference is i used glue instead of ties Quote Link to comment
RollaJase Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Tank looks great Eugene, finally a FTS I can drool over haha. Quote Link to comment

DPP is digital photo professional (canon software that came with your T2i) Its the best canon RAW editor IME. Anyhow your tank looks great. Its not hard to get the colors accurate with supplemental lighting such as T5's or halides but trying to capture blue LED's at 100% with everything else turned down is never captured accurately.That spectrum seems to be beyond the gamut of what modern day camera sensors can capture.(The human eye isnt so easily duplicated lol) so while it can be close its never exact to what you see in person. Not a big deal though I just prefer to photograph in the 10-12k range. Tank looks great Eugene, finally a FTS I can drool over haha. Thanks alot jase.....looking forward to a FTS of your tank 1 Quote Link to comment
