Due to the nature of my tank 92 gallon bowfront, it is not at all easy to get pictures of my animals with my camera.

Here are some terrible pics.

Hey, they're not that bad. At least you have the pleasure of sitting in front of it every day, right? :D

I myself do not have a bowfront. Allthough I have seen some awesome pictures from a bowfront tank. It is possible! Keep messing with the camera. You may master it one day. Take a look in the Photography forums.

Thanks guys.
I'm not completely terrible with picture taking, but I need a little help from Santa. Cough cough, new camera...

I took these in my bowfront. Probably one of the best pictures I've ever taken.

Thanks, but those pictures are dog food compared to the ones I see get submitted to Zoaid or posted here.
Thanks again, I'm trying.:)

Naw, that last picture had some potential.
A straight on shot, could of been a contender(calender shot)

Don,
Sony, 5.1 mpx. I'm ready for bigger and better.

finn,
Maybe next year. I'm going to pull off something big, bigger then when I turned 13!:lmao:
Hopefully a full giant colony picture of something I'm hoping to purchase on Friday. Any word yet?
I'm already a lock for the Lunars.;)

Those are GREAT pictures compared to the ones I get of my tank. I think Santa needs to help me out too. Mine isn't even a bowfront and I can't get a single picture to turn out as good as those!

I like them a lot. I don't have a bow front, but I too have problems taking good pics. Fortunately I know Santa has me a new nice camera coming. :D

are you using a tripod? Makes a HUGE difference

Reef Junkie

12/16/2006, 07:10 PM

I have used a tripod, but most of the time, it's more of a hassel.

Marvin,
You're mocking me!:furious:
Seriously, you are in the top 5 of zoanthid picture taking.;)

I'm working on that Ug, hopefully I will be getting some 'rare' frags this week.:D

LoLz.. thanks Bill...

make sure you share those "rare" frags you're getting this week... :)

Heh, rare is such an overused term, but it's been used in this hobby for as long as I can remember.

I'm sure by the time they grow out for me, you'll have them (if you don't have them already), but I'll offer.;)

Bill, those look terrible, you better send them to me for closer inspection ;) :D Honestly those are some fantastic looking specimens you got there....here's hoping they grow fast so you can share the wealth *prays to the zoa gods* :)

Thanks Karen, I was thinking the same thing. I'll send them to you right away. :D

Karen, I've wanted to trade/send you zoas for over a year now. :rolleyes:
