So I put on some extension tubes to get some close up pics of my @WWC Stellaria Chalice and started taking shots of their mouths (I prefer the term "mouth" to "eye" for no particular reason except it's a better description of what it is). They turned out pretty cool.

So here's a pic of the colony using just the 100mm macro lens

And these shots are using stacked tubes at 56mm.

These are amazing pictures, they almost don’t look real. Are you a professional photographer?
haha, no. Strictly amateur, but thank you for the compliment. I've taken lots of pics and just try and get better after every 100 or so. :rolleyes:

AMAZING PHOTOS
Thanks man, appreciate the compliment

I can never get enough chalice pics
That's 2 of us, ;)

Seriously man! Cant wait to get some in my Reef! My Faves for sure. Love this thread.
Let's see some more pix Pedro!
Here are a couple other posts you can check out, not all chalice but I tend to lean that way

I’ve got quite a few. Awesome to look at close up
Totally agree, I get my magnifying glass and flipper magnetic viewer out every morning and gaze at my chalices. Also kind of fun to take these pics and zoom in big time to see little details you miss with the naked eye.


thanks for looking y'all!!!
