Just a couple of pics

weez1959 · 07-11-2008, 10:27 PM

Just messing with the camera...

Very nice!

Beautiful pics!

How about coming over to my house and messing around with the camera. I need some great tanks shots like that.

I have a Sony Cybershot 4.1 Mega Pixel with the Carl Zeiss lens and for some reason I just cannot get the shots down since I went with T5's. It seems to pic up the actinics to much, making purple pics.

Mark, have you tried adjusting white balance in the camera? If there is a way to set a custom white balance try taking a shot through the coffee filter of the tank and set that as the your custom white balance.
I'm not familiar with your particular camera but, if you need more help with it, try this site Digital Camera Reviews and News: Digital Photography Review: Forums, Glossary, FAQ for some more help.

I have just started learning the white balance feature. I think once I get it down, the pics will get better.

Thanks for the link.

Great pics Louise, thanx. What coral is that in the second pic??

weez1959 · 07-14-2008, 12:57 PM

Just a big red mushroom.
Does anyone know what the third one is?

**charlie** · 07-14-2008, 01:00 PM

Just guessing here, that isn't an acan is it?

**charlie** · 07-14-2008, 01:02 PM

Never mind, that was a bad guess, a really bad guess

weez1959 · 07-14-2008, 01:28 PM

I didn't think so but what do I know

**charlie** · 07-14-2008, 01:36 PM

How big is the frag Louise??

weez1959 · 07-14-2008, 01:38 PM

1" X 1", maybe a tiny touch bigger but I saw a bigger one (about 4" x 5") in the display where I bought it.

**charlie** · 07-14-2008, 02:49 PM

OK, after doing a bunch of searching around on a few different sites, the only other guess I have is maybe an echinophyllia, "chalice" ????? The store you got it at didn't know huh??

weez1959 · 07-14-2008, 02:53 PM

Thanx Charlie!
No, he probably knew because he's a very reputable guy, he sells only coral.
I'm the bonehead that forgot to ask!

**charlie** · 07-14-2008, 02:55 PM

Lucid · 07-14-2008, 03:27 PM

He's closed Monday and Tuesday

He keeps pretty lax hours, 11 -6 weekdays, 11-5 weekends, no employees. But once you get used to the hours it's all good.

it's a red and pastel green open brain. it's about 5" across when fully inflated. I like that one too

**charlie** · 07-14-2008, 05:57 PM

Yeah, I kind of figured that might be his open times, otherwise you would have called.
