Some coral pictures

phenom5 · 07/04/2009, 07:58 PM

Just hanging out, and playing with my camera on this lovely 4th of July.

These were taken under actinic lighting, with a standard 28-80mm EF lens. Some post processing & cropping was done in Lightroom. My concern is that too much was done in Lightroom.

I've got plenty of experience with Photoshop, but I'm new to Lightroom.

All pics were taken at ISO 100, f/ 8.0, 1/5 sec.

First two are my ORA Roscoe's Blue that I accidentally fragged when I was going to cut down the plug.

And next we have a shot of my Hot Tamales from Vivid.

Any & all feedback/ comments/ tips/ suggestions/ etc on the photography or corals is appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

I love your pictures and the roscoe blue; I am not much into zoanthids.

Thanks guys. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the most out of my camera. I've got some time off coming up this week, so hopefully I'll get the chance to play with it a bit more.
