well im joining the band wagon and desplaying some of my best photos that i have taken so far. its all do to the new camera that me and my wife just got so we ca so videos better for family memories. we got a sony HDR-CX12 Handycam that is a hd camcorder that can take photos at 10.2 megapixles also. granted we have a 7.2 megapixle sony camera now but its do time to replace being 3 years old, eventhough it works great but you cant zoom in for the videos. i like zooming in on my children when they are playing

Nice one on the fire fish, there hard to capture a good pic of.

Were the pics taken with the new Handycam?

customcolor · 01/07/2009, 10:46 PM

yep

your right its hard to get one that shows the color of them. i took like 20 of him alone in many settings. he sits nice and still for me too. he is in the 46 bow that will go sea horse soon i hope. i just gota get the wife to feed during the day(that will be fun!) so i can do one in the night

Nice pics. I just bought a canon S5, but I haven't had any time to work with all the different settings.

PrisonCityReef · 01/08/2009, 01:41 PM

Very nice pics!

gbcichlids · 01/08/2009, 01:58 PM

Very nice, CC. The fish pics to me are more impressive. The corals just "sit" there.

Aquabucket · 01/08/2009, 04:33 PM

Nice pics! Do you have a tripod? The goni is looking great. Glad that frogspawn is doing well too.

customcolor · 01/08/2009, 05:09 PM

thanks for the kind words every one!!!

yes aquabucket i have a tripod but i wasnt using it. its still hard even with a tripod to get a good pic of a coral that sways in the water movement.

Sometimes I cut the powerheads and just leave my HOB running to get crisper pics.
