Very nice camera.

 

You're welcome

Thanks all.

I have a Canon Powershot SX20 IS.

I have the white balance set to daylight fluorescent lighting, custom color with contrast, sharpness and saturation on their highest setting. Aperture is set at its lowest setting for the focal length each shot which vary based on the distance to the coral. All are set to macro or super macro mode depending on how close they are. In macro mode all shots are zoomed as tight as the camera says is best. The room is darkened to keep stray light from affecting the camera's light perception and for glare reduction.

 

You can do all that with the Powershot? You cant call a "point&shoot" any more!!

 

No you can't, it is labelled a DSLR. I use the manual setting also not auto.

 

Wow great picks. Your tank is beautiful.

 

I love looking at pictures of your tank.. It's amazing. You've got such a wide variety of corals in there. Just a little bit of everything. I think my favorite is your ric's and the cyphastrea (spell check lol). I was just scrolling through the whole thread.. Amazing how much everything has grown since you started the thread. Where do you buy your frags? When you did buy them at least haha

 

Thanks

Thanks,

I have bought the frags from ebay auctions (Reef Pets, Reef Empire, Austin Aqua Farms, LA Reefs and Reef Gardener), online at Live Aquaria/Diver's Den and LFS.

They have been purchased over the last 1.5 years.

 

Hey 2in10, I don't mean to hijack your thread here but I have a quick question for ya.. How did you attach all your ric's on your rock like that? I'm having a little trouble keeping mine in place. They don't float away, but I think my starfish unintentionally moves them around while he's wandering. I was curious to see how you did it... Thanks!
