My Reds
Experimenting taking pics of my red zoanthids with different camera settings.

No photoshop.

Washed out pics...





NO! They arent pink!!





Still look pink to me...






A little better...






Put the colony in the MIDDLE of the viewfinder!

OK...





Oddly, the most accurate color came when I wasnt trying to photograph them!





Accidental, but welcome, frag...





I am going to keep experimenting. They are truly a deep red color...I WILL get them to show that way someday!!

Rumor has it that red really shows well in my tank. Send me that frag and I'll snap some pics for you

Nice pics, and great size colony!

Thanks all.

Believe it or not my wifey spotted them in the tank at the LFS. I glanced right over them.

She tells me I owe her big.

Looks nice. BTW, check/set your color balance level on your digital camera. If you set the color balance correctly, it'll be easier for you to take pictures of your tank's true colors.

Thanks for all the compliments.

I have indeed been playing with the white balance. It was a bit easier on my Nikon D70, but since selling that I am finding new ways to make this point & shoot work for me.

As far as price...lets just say the LFS could have charged a LOT more.
