Your photos are beautiful. I have an old 7dii and 100mm macro lens in the basement I may need to dust off. I know you mentioned you’re using an orange filter. Do you know what kelvin you have your lights at during photo shoots?

I’m assuming this was directed at me? I don’t use an orange filter for my camera, I think mine are likely around 16000-18000K? Total guess though. It’s a crisp white with a little blue.

I still haven't been able to save up any
money (or sell coral) to buy some new coral…as a result my reef tank pics have super slowed down.

I may have to consider asking around to see if fellow hobbyists would let me take some pics of their tanks.

In the meantime here are a few new pics. I keep trying to push my limits, are these better or worse than some of my previous ones? Definitely open to feedback!!

I’m trying to bring reef photography back one pic at a time! :cool:

Yesterday I spent some time practicing to get some really close macro shots. It’s much harder than I thought to get these kind of shots, but I think they turned out nicely.

I haven’t been posting my pics lately to instagram, but I plan to start doing that more. Feel free to follow me if desired: Instagram page

Thanks for looking! Always open to feedback and comments. :D

I got a new starfish, so I wanted to show off the new pics. I want to try and get an even more detailed shot in the future, but check out how pretty it is. And one more close up of the glitter Goni for good measure.

I got a little better of a shot of the starfish last night, what’s your preference? B&W or color?

Not the most amazing picture, but I ended up getting an amazeballs frag and had to share. These are gorgeous. Also was able to get another good one of the glitter bomb. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
