Spectacular shot as always, Greg...welcome to the forum! Hopefully we'll all get to see more of your work here .

I definitely look foward to your works. I recall seeing some spectular shots from you a long time before, and can't wait to see what you've shot since then.

BTW, what are you shooting with nowadays?

 

[gregr]

thanks guys- i appreciate it.
i bet there are others out there who got into this hobby because of the clownfish/anemone thing- they just look so happy....
another pair in their host:

So, what are you shooting with (equipment wise), Greg? Looks like a dSLR to me.

 

[NKT]

my guess is the D60 ...unless he sprang for a 1ds...which I'll bet he's tempted to...hehehe

 

[gregr]

hah! not a D60-- a 10D! i was able to sell my D60 for $1200 and an hour later i bought the 10D for $1500.
this picture was from my trusty old G2-

[gregr]

well, you just can't have too many clownfish pictures
this is my very own- the male guading the freshly deposited eggs. the female was probably on the other side of the tank pushing corals over or kicking up a sandstorm <g>.

Awesome shots Greg! Is that one with the 10D? How do you like it?

 

[gregr]

thanks!
that was with the D60- which was a great camera too. the 10D i love more though- it has some neat features Canon added and the autofocus is much faster, although for aquarium photography i always focus manually. i'm really happy with the 10D- no regrets whatsoever.

Don't know what to say other then what I always say to your photos .... beatuiful work. Clarity and technique aside, you've got a good eye capturing subjects in interesting and aesthetic context.
