fastuno what kind of fish is that in the last pic??looks like some kind of dragonnete, but i've never seen them in that coloration.

Thanks

It's a Scooter Blenny Dragonette (Petroscirtes temmincki). Shot was taken with flash on, so
with certain fish the pigmentation may fluoresce & in this case it does.

Some more fluorescent type fish (these are not from my tank though)

Now for some more of my tank shots.

more great shots all.

Some hot shot tips:
-Shots of objects/corals/fish closer to the front of the tank will ALWAYS come out more sharper. For fish, I try to get them as close as possible.
-no matter how hard you try you will never get a sharper picture as you do when using flash. Just need to expose it properly
-Try to place your lense flush with the tank wall. If this is not feasible, then shoot dead on. If you get flashback, then shoot at 5-15 degree angles.

Lets go for broke. These fish are not in my tank either, they are either from LFS or aquarium. The crab is a blue claw that I caught the past summer in rockaway. I fed him & then put him back a week after.

I love to see pics...yea keep them coming!

 

[jhale]

ahhh, that crab looks hungry.
again, great shots Uno!

Fast,

The fish in the 3rd picture looks like he was just standing still waiting for you to take the picture. Nice shots again.

Fastuno,

Nice close ups. What kind of equipment (body and lens) are you using? Do you use a off camera bracket and flash?
