New Gorgonian Pics

[Marcosreef]

Purple Plume Gorgonian (Pseudopterogorgia Bipinnata)

I picked this up on Wednesday from Tom @ Inland Reef in Nashua, NH. I am very pleased with the quality of livestock Tom @ Matt carry at the store. I have had great success buying from them. Thanks Guys!

I use a Nikon CP995. I'm glad you like the pics!

Very nice Marco, I have one of these gorgs also. Just a reminder in case you didn't know, these gorgs will shed their skin every few weeks in order to rid themselves of algae.

Thanks Steve,
No, did not know about the skin shedding. Thanks again for the insight!

I've just gotten into taking macro shots of my reef. I've got an old mamiya 35mm that still takes great pics after 25 years...I'm assuming you're using a macro lens and/or some sort of filter--what combination. The pics look great--bright, focused. My first couple tries didn't come out too hot. The lightmeter is o.k., as other shots on the roll came out ok, but mine looked washed-out. Just curious.

Beautiful purple plume Gorgonian! Awesome pic too! Here is my golden gorgonian I have had for about six months:

Very Nice MontanaRocknReefer! I love the pictures!

Jazzyreef: It's the Macro lens built-in the Nikon CP995 camera! I also use a Canon EOS SLR with a 28-135mm Image Stabilizer lens. Using slide film I digitize the positive with a Canon film scanner.
