Wallpaper... BIG files posted here

[gregr]

many times i've edited pictures that i wanted to share with everyone but they're just too big- and it feels awful to shrink them down. so- i thought why not make a thread for people to post wallpaper type pictures for people to view, and if you want use as wallpaper (that's what i do).
to start with, here's a picture from the reef tank at the Aquarium of the Pacific:

Nice awesome shots! and thanx for sharing with us!

[gregr]

you're welcome :D

[melev]

Here's a shot I liked, although the fish could have been a bit more in focus.

[shawnz28]

Greg can I ask what kind of camera you are using and the settings etc...? I just picked up a G5 to replace my Sony S70 I have had for a few years and am still getting the hang of it.

[shawnz28]

[gregr]

nm? is that nevermind?
Marc- that is absolutely positively stunning. i could spend hours looking at that tank.
greg

[melev]

Thanks Greg. It really has surpassed my 29g as the crown jewel of the living room. I need to do something about my 29g!

Everyone that has been over this week has told me the tank is completely full and has no room for another thing! :D

[dave2184]

Here's one for you.

http://www.x-factor.us/PHPhotoalbum/albums/userpics/normal_large%20tank.JPG

[melev]

Very nice Dave, but is that your tank or that Japanese one that they post quite often?

[dave2184]

Thats that Japanese tank.

[dave2184]

This is my wallpaper i believe this is the 850 gallon that was on a thread here somewere.

http://www.x-factor.us/PHPhotoalbum/albums/userpics/normal_800%20gallon.JPG

[melev]

That is Steveweast's tank. He's got a heck of a thread that covers all the details. Nice big image!

The one thing you don't see is his herd of Rose BTAs. But look at that beautiful sand. He vacuums it weekly, and it is only 1" deep.

The tank is 84" from the front to the back, and he's successfully caring for 2 purple gonioporas. It really deserves Tank Of The Year.

[dave2184]

It really deserves Tank Of The Year.

I'll second that!!

[shawnz28]

yeah that was just nevermind, do you use flash for your fish close ups? also what kind of camera do you use?

[Secret Agent Man]

Peek-a-Boo!


http://www.louisville.edu/~jtmcco01/images/tank&fish 006.jpg

[gregr]

yeah- i use a flash a lot. not for sps though as it wreaks havoc with the colors.
this was made with a Canon 10D and 100mm macro lens. lucky for me this crab was hanging out right in the front of the tank.

[Gary Majchrzak]

It's been quite some time since I posted in this forum. I'd like to thank everyone here {especially gregr} for their help. My aquarium photography has improved greatly since following the advice found in this forum. Here's a recent pic taken of my anemone and ocellaris with my CanonA70. {Makes a great desktop!}

Wow! Glad I found this thread. These are some nice pics! :D

[ozadars]

gorgeous pictures everyone!

here is my wallpaper, my yellow watchman goby. This is my favourite photo so far. I love using grey back ground with this fish otherwise his color doesnt show up really well and get lost in the picture. However, i couldnt spend too much time on this photo so as you can see i even forgot making gray some parts of the photo
btw can you see the picture?



http://server5.uploadit.org/files/ozadars-ywgbw.jpg

[gregr]

shows up perfectly- great shot.
in fact, all the shots are great :D
greg

[Trumpet12]

Incredible pictures everyone!!!

[gregr]

another thread rescue by gregr :p
i got this shot at the last tank tour my club did (maslac). saw some really beautiful tanks, and this was one of my favorite shots of the day:
http://www.gregrothschild.com/hosted/lance4.jpg
the owner says the anemone was sold to him as a white carpet- not bleached but naturally white.
greg

[MitchellB]

Great picture greg

[melev]

Our club covers a large area, so we will probably have 3 tank tours in the near future. Greg, would you fill me in on any details that make the tour a successful one? PM would be fine, or email.

[Atticus]

[melev]

Alright Atticus, this one's for you.

This is a reef shot from a 120g that I took photos of for our newsletter. Here's a 1280 x 960 shot:

Here are two clownfish in anemone pictures I took at the zoo:

http://webpages.charter.net/mriffenburg/DSC00992.JPG

[dynamixone]

excellent pics Thank you! I now have somethign better to stare at on my monitor!

[melev]

Those are really nice ericriff. Looks like a True Percula in a huge bubble tip anemone perhaps.

[ericriff]

Thanks melev. The anemone was huge! I cant find a full picture of it but there were two full grown clowns hosting in it and they looked tiny in comparison. The lady working at the zoo said the clowns were around 10-14 years old, so i'm assuming that the anemone was just as old possibly older. Here are two more pictures if anyone is interested.

http://webpages.charter.net/mriffenburg/DSC00989.JPG

http://webpages.charter.net/mriffenburg/DSC00954.JPG

[Gary Majchrzak]

Nice pics, everyone. Those last ones look like Ocellaris in a Magnifica to me...

[melev]

Gary may be right, but the shape of the white stripe is what made me think it was a Percula.

That last picture Eric posted looks amazing. Tell me if you'll agree that clown looks like it is fighting a hurricane storm-worth of current trying to stay in the anemone!

[mickey57]

I just had to:D

[melev]

Greg, what is beneath that wrasse? I can't decide if I like the coral or the fish better! :thumbsup:

[TippyToeX]

I'm sure Greg will answer but it looks like a Blastomussa merletti Marc. :)

[gregr]

hah! lol Marc-
it's a Blastomussa, i think Merletti. i have some Wellsi too and that has solid red polyps.
greg

[melev]

Thanks Gramy! Or Thanks Amreg! :lol:

[The Punisher]

Sorry to bring up an old post but I made myself a desktop picture today and thought I'd share. The middle of the pic is a front shot of my nano, with close ups of the corals blended around it. The frame is moved up a little so I can use it as a desktop pic and have the frame around it all, not hidden on the bottom by the taskbar/start menu.

How about the colors on that dragonette

i know... that fish is so incredible i found myself forgetting to shoot the rest of the tank :p

[gho]

Awsome shot greg. I had a scooter and never noticed colors like that on it - amazing detail! Half the time, I couldn't even find it since it was so well camouflaged in the rock work.

[gregr]

thanks!
this fish... he's visible all the time, cruising back and forth looking for food right in the front of the tank.

Their sentence should be to be thrown in with the large sharks :)

[Atticus]

Unfortunatly the sharks are peaceful enough that they probably wouldn't touch them unless you threw the little punks in in little pieces. Sorry I know this is a bit graphic, but this is the third revision to tone down how I really feel... :D

hard to imagine what could've been going thru their minds.

well heres a giant picture, not a reef picture but it is a giant picture that goes along with the season, heres what ive wrote in my other thread(s):

[incysor]

What's a good size for wallpaper?

[melev]

It should fit your current desktop. Or if you have a smaller shot that is amazing, it can be centered on your screen.

[incysor]

How about this. I reduced it a bit in order to get it to upload to photobucket. It's the wallpaper on one of my work computers now.

[gregr]

sweeeet!
wish i coulda been there... hopefully next year. wait- this year :p
night time shots can be not so easy. you did a great job with that shot. did you use a tripod? settings?

[melev]

Greg, you know me..... what's a tripod! :lol: What I did was press the camera lens against the window to keep it steady.

f/2.8
ISO 160 (lowest setting on my camera, might be 50 on an equivalent)
Shutter Priority set to 1 second duration
Exposure Compensation set to 0.

Very close to what I normally shoot anyway, just SP instead if AP mode. I took about 5 of these, but that was the best one.

[gregr]

wowza! one second handheld- that is major league impressive :cool:

Here's one of my favorite backgrounds. I took this picture at the Monteray Bay Aquarium. (The one reef tank they have!)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/CDH29/background.jpg

[melev]

Greg, do you have a suncoral now?

[gregr]

that orange one is from a friends tank.
i have a black one that i'm nursing back to health. it's in the refugium because it's easy to reach- i'm feeding it every single day and the flesh is spreading well. it was down to only a few mouths and no flesh anywhere else.

Greg

[melev]

I never thought about putting one in the refugium, but since they don't need light you are right! Humm. I need to post a big image of a suncoral polyp I took recently.

[gregr]

well? let's see it!

[melev]

Okay, I'll go get it. ;)

[melev]

This is the BIG file thread. They are roughly 200k each. 1024 x 768 - perfect for a wallpaper if you like this kind of image.

[gregr]

wow! awesome shots!

[melev]

I was pleased with them. I had the lights turned on that night, just so I could show the sun coral, but it closed up quite a number of polyps since the lights were on. These were the open ones. :p

[incysor]

Very nice.....FWIW, my suncorals have gotten used to the lights being on, and they just come out around the 'normal' feeding time.

Well, it must be contagious. North Bay, your image is great, love both critters! However now khable's images are Red X's. :(

[khable]

nooooooo! is anyone else seeing these red x's? if so, i'll upload them to my website.

they seem to be showing up fine for me :( i tried both firefox and IE

[melev]

If I open each image up in a new window, by copying the URL, it works. I'm confused.

Btw, the one you've labeled Ricordia looks like it is probably a frilly mushroom.

[khable]

I'm not sure about the mushroom, it was sold to me as a ricordia mushroom by a buddy whole saler who ordered as such. So i just ended up calling it that!

I've seen ricordia mushrooms that look an awful lot like mine, but then again i've seen frilly mushrooms that resemble it too. Who knows, not me ;)

[khable]

melev, you wouldn't happen to have an alias by the name of cobs00 do you?

Thank you very much, I was getting nowhere no matter where I searched. I've called and email the person, and hope they will remove my avatar immediately. Of all the things to take, my avatar????! :mad2:

[melev]

Inflames, those are all great pictures, but this thread is for HUGE pictures (1024 x 768) that could be used as a desktop wall paper. Did you intend to post larger versions perhaps? The GSP would make a good one, especially if the person was a gardener in the real world. :lol:

least he didn't steal your underwear...right??

[melev]

He can have those. :D

[Inflames]

melev i have larger versions i just posted the smaller ones for space

[khable]

Any luck getting in contact with this guy? From what i've read in his listings...he seems a little out there lol, either way good luck ;)

[melev]

No reply. :(

[khable]

you should have said you're interested in his ads so he'd reply instantly then tell him to remove your image ;)

with all the royalty free websites out there, why he steal your avatar? boggles z mind

[melev]

He just called me to ask me what it was all about. He's in Toronto, and found the avatar via Google apparently. He did apologize, and said he'd take it down.

In the meantime, I let him know about my website so he can see my images, and I told him if he wants to use one in the future, to just ask first. :)

[khable]

Hmmm, on google eh? Well, you never know. At least he didn't give you any problems.

and now for something completely different!

The ones I posted were 2848x2136 if you go to the original files, but Pbase resizes them to a more useable level for display.

[melev]

I really think a 1280 x 960 is plenty large for the majority of the members here.

[Recce]

I realise that, the only reason I have such high res pics uploaded, is that I was storing the pics to give a publisher access to use some of them in a magazine, and I thought the higher the res the better.

[khable]

im starting to get the swing of taking pictures of fish ;) some of mine move so damn fast, its sweet that my new bulbs came in. new light, higher shutter, huzza

[bigbenji]

I love all the pics, but could you guys list the camera you're using and some specs. Newbie here needs to learn, and buy a new camera. I'm assuming I'm allowed to use these pics as wallpaper, isn't that why you're posting?

[melev]

Yes, that is pretty much a given. We don't want them used for commercial gain, that I'm sure of.

I use a Fuji S602Z. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujis602z/

[Cprowler]

WOW, great thread.

I just found it and changed my wallpaper 10 times as I read the 8 pages.:D

Well enough procrastinating, I've got tank maintenance to do.:rolleyes:

[SunnyX]

Great thread!! keep up the good work guys.

OMG! You guys are amazing at tank photos!!! Can I please borrow some of these photos for my desk top?

[Don_Gnomio]

how do you guys get such big photots onto photobucket, it re sizes it automatically, and it comes out too small....

Don, some of us have our own webspace that we pay for. I use Ipowerweb.com for my hosting needs. $96 a year gives me lots of space and lots of bandwidth, and I post any images I like as size doesn't matter.

[Don_Gnomio]

ok thanx...

Holy cow Kayla, thats friggin' perfect!! :D

[Jordan55]

Ok Kayla.....

come to Ohio... and teach me how to use my camera.

Or just give me lessons.


SWEET picture!:thumbsup:

[Flipturn88]

Thanks everyone. :)

Jordo, you forgot the third option: you come here to ATL. :D Regardless, I'd be happy to show you how/what settings I use. Send me a PM if you have any Qs.

[melev]

Kayla, how on earth did cyano bacteria get a chance to grab onto your seahorse? You might consider using Boyd Enterprises' ChemiClean to erradicate that stuff.

Actually, cyano is commonly found on seahorses--both in the wild and in captivity--due to their need for very little flow. Interestingly enough, my other horse does not have a hint of the bacteria anywhere on him, nor is it present in the rest of the tank. However, cyano has proven to be harmless to seahorses, and it does not affect the them in a negative way.

HTH, Kayla :)

Well here is my attempt at a wallpaper pic. Not as great as many posted here, but I am slowly learning my camera. Enjoy everyone.

Ok here is one more than I am done.
http://www.ajpsreef.com/images/Wallpaper17.jpg

[melev]

Here's my current wallpaper. If this is your first time to see this image, you might be surprised to find out it is a 2 gallon Pico I just set up a week ago. :)

http://www.sparklingfloorservice.com/melevsreef/rc/pico_desktop_1024x768.jpg

[gregr]

that is amazing.
a sexy shrimp in there would be a sweet photo op :p

[melev]

What do they eat? I don't feed this tank anything since there is zero filtration. Just a circulation pump, and a 50% water change (water from my reef tank) every three days. I do dose a little phyto for the clams, but they filter that out pretty quickly.

[Heavydc2]

speaking of sexy shrimp, this is my wallpaper, although it is downsized a little. They will eat flake, and they pic off the rocks. I would bet that they would do fine in your tank. they would probably get some of the phyto, and whatever critters are on the rock. They are only 1/2-3/4in big.

How can I get my pic bigger on this site. 50kb makes my photos this small:

[The Punisher]

To post big pictures you're going to need to host them some where besides in your gallery here. There are a number of free picture hosting sites that will allow you to do this.

[TigerWoods]

Hey Melev!

That is a nice Pico. By the way I just finished a canopy for my 30g and used your design from this link:

http://www.melevsreef.com/pics/1204/evans_canopy.html

The front is soo cool how it comes off and slides into place.....good stuff. Thanks for helping a fellow reefer!!!

You're very welcome, Tiger. ;)

I've tried photobucket.com but I still have to shrink the file to smaller than 150x150 or something like that...

[AJP]

Here is an image hosted on photobucket, not sure why it doesnt work for you.

These are great shots, but for some reason a number of them on the last page alone are normal sized. This is the wall-paper thread, basically. BIG pictures. ;)
