My first DSLR camera picture attempts...

[ryangrieder]

So my buddy just got a new dslr camera so he stopped by my place and we attempted to snap some pictures and try to mess with some of the settings. Granted these are not the best because we really did not mess with the white balance and stuff a lot. A lot of pictures seem the same, but we were trying to change the focus around and simple settings so bare with me lol. Also, my tank is still fairly new and did not even have that many corals in the tank yet, I need to re due some pics because since then over a dozen more corals have been added... But I figured I'd share them with you guys...

Be easy on me, like i said it's my first time lol.

First front tank shots. One with actinic only, whites only, and all 4 bulbs...

Some random close ups. Again, they are not duplicates, they all have little settings changed and so forth...

Here are some random reef brite LED only pics...

[ryangrieder]

I believe it was called a red flame crab.

BUT really nice pics keep them coming

Ryan, your tank is really taking shape. Stop making excuses for how the pictures are coming out. They look great.

having two or more of the same pic with different settings lets you see the difference a setting can make. If you look at the GSP pics side by side you'll see one is a bit yellow and another is just about right.

Doing good, great shots and a beautiful tank.

Thanks everyone. Like I said most are not the most exciting corals, but the tank is only going on half a year old so I don't have anything crazy in their yet. I just started some more lps and got rid of a few softies because they are just not doing anything for me anymore.
