Joe Clark's (Sailfish) reef

gparr · Jul 18, 2009

This past week I was in Atlanta to do a reef photography presentation at the Atlanta Reef Club meeting. I also got to spend an evening photographing Joe Clark's (Sailfish) reef. He's done a beautiful job putting it together. It's well aquascaped, has a nice mixture of corals/colors, and is well managed. A pleasure to view and photograph. Here are some shots from the visit.

I enjoyed the visit Gary and all the photo tips as well.

I really like the the favia and monti pics. Really makes me want a larger macro lens.

Not sure what you mean by Davis shots, but all coral shots were done with the Sigma EX180 macro lens, Canon 20D body, tripod, remote release, mirror lockup.
