Amazing photos and coral! What camera and lens do you use? They dont look PhotoShopped at all....

Thanks to all.
Reefer, No, they're not "photoshopped." I'm very much an old-school purist and I present what I shoot. I find it upsetting when people present, as photography, digitally altered images.
I use Canon 20D camera bodies. For these shots I used the Sigma EX180 macro lens and, most likely, various combinations of extension tubes. A tripod and remote release are also part of the setup.

Its great to see true photos. I am not a fan of PhotoShop either. I dont take the quality pictures that you do but I dont alter any of my either except for cropping....
Thanks again for the great photos!

great stuff, as always, gary! :)

i never would have realized the pleasure i derive from looking at coral pics, before i got in this hobby :haha:
my wife is always like, "what are you doing??" when she sees me just sitting in front of the tank looking at my stuff :p
