A Shot In The Dark
I took these as a demonstration of a specific photography technique that appears to work extremely well in reef tanks. It was done by holding a narrow, bright beamed light source, such as a small car flashlight above the tank, less than a centimeter above the water.
The the water diffused and negated the outlying weak light, while lightly spreading the main beam. This allowed for a pitch black background with superior focus on the subject. This worked better in a tank that is shorter.

A Clown In The Dark
A Clown In The Dark
This one didnt turn out as nicely as the others with that super-clear contrast, but its nice. The clown wasnt really that hard to photograph like this, but I do want a better photo. All i did, is I used the same red filter to find the clown. then i turned off the light for a bit to let m,e get used to the lighting. Then I took off the red filter, and light-stunned the fish. Snapped my photo and then that was it...

Nice photos.
For the corals, if you use a slow shutter speed and move the light slightly, you can "paint" the coral in light, giving a really cool effect to the coral.

Nope! Not at all. The only post production on those pictures is the frame. No other processing was done.
