Hey Greg, BTW, I know this is off the subject, but here's another picture I took with the new Nikon 995. What do you think?

PS: Like the eel!

Just thought I'd revive this old thread with a picture of some yellow polyps I got last week(Father's Day ). This is about as close as I can get with the Canon A40 without the add on lenses.

Here's one of my better close-ups. I need to experiment much more with my new digicam though.

Here's one of my Harlequin shrimp:

[gregr]

woohoo! you can never have enogh close-ups and you can never get too close
this is a shot of my branched hammer coral (not sure of the correct name). taken with a 100mm macro lens handheld with a flash. i shot it in manual exposure mode and around f16 and 1/60th.

Oh okay you twisted my arm one more

By the way a few messages

MTNDEWMAN- We live near Chicago ourselves. We went to Chicago for a wedding and we visited Shedd at the same time (convenient ) WE MUST HAVE SPENT 20 MINUTES JUST STARING AT THAT JELLY FISH IN AWE!)

64IVY- Nice purple Acro in your picture, the carb is great, its a bonus when we get these little extras on our coral don't you think?

Here's the best I could do with my limited skills.

Here's a picture of my Hawaiian Harlequin (just got him last night). Gregr was at the LFS where I got this from, taking pictures of a lot of the fish/corals in the store, and he graciously took some pictures of my new shrimp for me. I'll post a few when he emails them to me. I have no doubt they'll be as amazing as all of the other pictures he takes. For now though, here's my amateur offering:

[MtnDewMan]

Meg - Cool aquarium in Chicago, I like going there every so often. Hard to get there a lot me being in the Seattle area now. That jellyfish was spectacular in person. I am off to the Seattle Aquarium next weekend. I hope to get some decent shots there.

Here are a couple of more pictures. Tentacle, nice harlequin's, I always love a good Harlequin Shrimp pic

Here is one of mine munching on their favorite foods



Mommy and Daddy Clowns too

[gregr]

i just wanted to say what an awesome bunch of pics this thread has generated. i've enjoyed them all.
soon i will have a few more to share... i am soooo far behind in my editing
Dan- absolutely killer shots! and Tentacle- don't count on my Harlequin shots being any better than the one you posted- that one is awesome.

[tentacle]

Beautiful shots Chuck, Meg, Ivy, and Zenya! As promised, here's the picture Gregr took of my shimp in the store. Awesome shot Greg (blows mine AWAY!)! (thanks again ):
