August Photo Const: Tank Shots!
The subject for the August Reef Central Photo Contest is.................... Tank Shots! Enter your best/favorite tank photo in this months contest for a chance to have your photo appear in the 2008 Reef Central Calendar. They don't need to be full tank shots- sections of your tank will do just fine. First and second place winners will also receive Premium Memberships.
This thread has answers to many of your questions about the contest but feel free to speak up in that thread if you need clarification.
Image size should be no bigger than 150k and 900 pixels wide. If you need help resizing just ask. Horizontal format is best since the image may be used in the calendar. Please choose a photo that you can provide a high resolution copy of in case you do win. Thanks for participating

Sorry- one picture per person, 900 pixels wide max. I'm happy to resize it if you need help. Let me know which photo you want to keep.

Sorry if it's a little too big, but this is the smallest I could save it at w/o losing the quality.

Heres a shot of the left side of mine maybe someday I will figure out how to use the camera right after I learn how to take care of a reef tank.

Nice picture and tank maroun.c
Did you take this picture with a fisheye lens?
Also looked at the other picture you didn't choose and I think it is a lot nicer than the one you posted no offense.

Hello Fred.
No this wasn't taken with a Fisheye, This tank is Convex (or concave?) I wanted to take out the parts of the stand and canopy and maybe straighten the picture a bit however I guess this represents the curved tank as it truely is.
I'm glad you like the other picture. I couldn't decide between the two however considering that it was more a tank shot than a fish shot I thought this one being a nicer tank would fit in more. Thanks for your kind words
