Post Your PICTURES!!!!

Here are some of mine:

This is one of the Zoo frags I got from Daniel (Thanks Daniel!!)





These are the yellow poylps that Camille donated to the auction (Thanks Camille!!)




Pacific Rose Coral; from Tropical Expressions:




Candy Cane frag from GVA; was completly bleached when I got it:




Red open brain; also from GVA. Bleached when Chris added the MH; but has recovered nicely. The damage was done due to sand (in my tank) ; but has not gotten any worse in the last 6 weeks.





And finally a beautifull yuma that Aim gave to me





I have a few others that I was not able to get good pics of; I'll work on it later. Now its time for you to share yours!!

Aim: What do you mean by PH? I am still learning how to use this cam; and those were the first set of macro pics I have taken. They look amazing; whatever you did to them!

Jeff: I got the Canon PowerShot SI IS; and am using a macro lense to take those pics.

I'm sorry! I should have said PS not PH. Eek! Meaning to abbreviate Photoshop.

Ahh ok! I'm not sure what photo editor we have. I didnt even try to edit the pics; just pulled them off of the cam.

Nobody else wants to post pics?

My old dElph is not so good at taking coral pics. but i'll try to take some nice ones later today when the lights come on.

here's some pics yvonne and i took at the Silverton Casino. if you haven't seen it yet, i highly recommend doing so. the tank is gorgeous. the "show" we saw was pretty lame though. sorry bout the photo quality, the camera doesn't have very many manual settings, and no manual focus. PS'd: Auto-balanced; unsharp masked.

Camille; go to photobucket.com; sign up for a free account and upload them there. If the pictures are too big photobucket will automaticly resize them. Then, all you have to do is copy the image url; and paste it in your post. It doesnt matter to RC how big the pictures are because they are not hosting them.

use the post reply function (instead of the quick reply). Clicking the IMG button will make a little input menu pop up. just paste the URL to your image and click OK.

or, you can wrap your image's URL in the following tags [ IMG ] http....jpg[ /IMG ] (without the spaces.)

Camille:

Using photobucket; instead of just copying the url; copy the one that has [img] at the beginning and end of it. That will automaticly put the picture in; even if you are using the quick reply method. Does that make sense??

The way jeff is talking about works too; but you have to click on the IMG button via RC; then add the URL; and RC automaticly puts [img] at the beginning and end so that the picture shows up. Photobucket provides you with a url that already has that [img] in it.

I hope that makes sense, because now I feel confused lol.

I am glad that I am not the only one who is confused.
But I am one giant leap from where I was this morning thanks to you all.
Donna; I will try that next time I post a photo.
If you go to the Silverton Casino to see the aquarium try and go in the evenings or on the weekends in the afternoons or evening the have underwater dancers in the aquarium. I have not seen the whole show but I hear it is cool to watch. I think they are on the hour every hour. Call first.

nice pics, if I may invade your forum here are a couple from mine.




Here is the green polyped sarcophyton. Not a good pic, but hopefully you get the idea. Its pretty cool right now because I think there are 14 frags of it. Cute when they are button sized.




Here is one I just shot of the tank.



I did try and get one of the lord but the picture did not turn out well. Will see if I can snag one tomorrow.

Kip
