Post your POINT & SHOOT PICS

dancewithethan · 12/23/2008, 11:09 PM

I have seen some very nice reef pictures taken by Point & Shoot camera. So, I would like to start a thread for everyone who own Point & Shoot camera or have pictures of your reef that was taken by P&S camera.

Rules:

1-NO DSLR pics.
2- post one picture of your tank.
3- and one Macro/Micro shot.
4- optional, about your camera.

I'll start:

FTS

Macro

Wow... lots of viewers but not many willing to post their pics. I know that almost every household have P&S cameras, so please post your pics.

This thread is dedicated for P&S users

This one I took several months ago (as is, no photo editing)

Camera: Canon G9

jmc357,

wow your Cyber shot did a very nice job, and especially Macros. I'm not too sure what's the last picture is.

luisgo · 12/27/2008, 06:24 PM

Now I have a Nikon DSLR but before that I used a Canon PowerShot A630. These are some of the last shots of my tank with the A630 in November 2007.

dancewithethan · 12/27/2008, 07:53 PM

Luisgo,

those are very nice pictures from your PowerShot, and I really like your third picture.

LoyalConvict · 12/27/2008, 09:39 PM

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9

1/100s f/3.2 at 9.7mm iso200

P&S cameras have come a long way! Nice shots everyone.

Timanator · 01/01/2009, 07:40 PM

18" cube, Canon A620

xJake · 01/01/2009, 07:48 PM

These aren't of my tank, but I took the photos with my P&S (Kodak EasyShare C633)
The only assistance I had was the use of a 5-gallon bucket as a "tripod," and I used Photoshop to reduce the blue levels (and did some cropping for "artistic value").

A bit out of focus, but still a cool shot:

Probably one of my best macro/micro shots:

And finally, the obligatory RBTA shots:

soyadrink · 01/01/2009, 07:59 PM

FTS

SoyaDrink,

Nice tank and rocks work and I like your macro shots too.
just on a side note, I noticed your tank has Aiptasia anemones. I used to have them in my tank and it grew very fast and kill off all of my corals. I would get rid of them before it becomes a major problem.

Capt_Cully · 01/02/2009, 12:15 PM

Still not good with the FTS but here's a video with my Canon SD 800:

And some macros with same camera that didn't come out too bad...

I'm having trouble getting it to focus any more zoomed in.

mikearoni · 01/06/2009, 06:10 AM

I dont have any nice ones of my tank yet. My friend is upgrading to a 150 and I bought his 90g. This is when he had it setup. These were taken with a Canon G9.

dancewithethan · 01/06/2009, 10:47 PM

Those are very nice pics, I have the G9 too and loves it. do you know the camera setting? Thanks
