Prattreef tanks

[ellebelle]

I took my camera down to pratt last week and shot a few photos. Not too many, but I wanted to try my 50mm lens with his tanks. I like the effect. So, that's a Pentax K20D with a 50mm lens on Av mode with the aperture set to f1.4

Randy says, "Get a shot of my male Watanabei!"

Gorgeous pics as usual, though with such a gorgeous canvas it has to come easy.

Tobin, IMO there's two things here I never get tired of, 1 - Randys tank & 2 - Lissas' pix.

Great job to both of you......Lissa and Randy.

no love for the pachyseris coral? Randy has one of the nicest colonies I've ever seen and nobody ever takes a pic of it :irked:

I didn't take very many photos this last trip - I know I have photographed it in the past. I can find one, if you like!!

sweet, one of my favorites. One of those corals you really have to look closely at to appreciate. Thanks Lissa :knockedou lol didn't expect the pics.

One of my favorites too, but it is Leptoseris not Pachyseris:smash:

I have it labeled as "the big green thing". :happysad:

couldn't get close enough to the tank last time I was there a few swaps ago, there were "a few" people in front of it lol. P. Speciosa has an almost identical growth pattern just different skeletal detail. I won't let it happen again Randy, :duh: I apologize lol.
