Bubba's SPS Journey

How is your All Star looking?

Amazing, lol. I went and seen the one they had in their display and I think mine is better, haha.

I took a pic last month of one of my frags on post 2522 if you want to check it out. It’s still mostly the same.

I also wondered if the BC SPace Laser has changed much compared to the WWC All Star, or if they are becoming more similar as time goes on.

I am 100% sure they are different. The Space laser is a dark purple and it gets some green in it. The space laser is a very light purple with no green at all, I also think the polyps are much brighter on the all star.

This one has been a sleeper for me. For the longest time it was solid green, partially because it's shaded but as it's growing out from the shade it's starting to get some nice color to it.

ARC Fireworks

Good job with the fireworks Bubba....but I am still looking for those fire polyps. With time it seems more of a myth rather than fact:(:confused::confused:

 

[McPikie]

Ohhhh that the new lens?

I agree with you. I think their original pic was from being freshly brought in. I posted the TSA pic a couple times as well and their looks just like mine. I’ve seen some say they get orange polyps but maybe im just not able too, who knows.

It is. The pic this morning and yesterday were with the new lens. So far I’m really liking it and it will probably become the main lens I use.

What is the new lens (I missed it apparently)? I need to invest in some glass but I'm always finding other things to spend the money on.

I saw the TSA picture other day too. Mine looks like yours and I bought it from ARC directly and never saw the orange polyp.

It is the Tamron 90mm.

Yes it’s a shame. When I went to WWC the other day they had one called Dr. Duke and it blew the arc fireworks away. It had similar body color but bright red polyps.

I know you probably said it already, but what camera do you use? Is there one you wish you had instead? I need to get one and your pics are amazing so might copy :)

For the majority of this thread I used an old Nikon d3000. I was enjoying Farmerty's pics and he was telling me with his Nikon D5300 he can use a much high ISO and a screen you can look at instead of looking in the view finder, so I switched to that. All the pics before November 1st were with my old camera. I find there isn't too much of a difference and it really all comes to to the lens you use.

I am not sure about a camera I wish I had as I honestly haven't looked into other ones. No matter which camera you use you have to practice. I look at my pics on the first page and I wonder what in the world I was doing.

 

[jschultzbass]

before you got your new lens, which one were you using?

 

[bubbaque]

Mainly a Nikon 55-200 zooms lens and a Nikon 60mm macro.

What type of screen if you don’t mind me asking? Sounds interesting ;)
