Thanks....the favia is called mayan sun. I got it from frag-a-holics.
Thanks! I don't really have any tricks. I tooks some of these with my p&s pan. lumix and some with a friends canon xti. I use a fast shutter speed (1/8 sec. on pan and it depends on the lens I was using with the canon), automatic iso, and I take a ton of pics. I go through the pics, delete the ones that are bad, edit the decent ones, post. This group of pics were the only decent ones I got out of about 400 that I took. That's about it. there are other little things here and there but really it is a lot of testing settings with your camera to see what works. Every single tank is going to photograph differently depending on lights etc. Iso, shutter speed, exposure and white balance are all things to start off playing around with to see the changes. Just take a few pics of the same coral over and over with diff. settings and see what's working and what's not. A lot is done in editing as well. Adjusting brightness, white balance, sharpness etc. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. I am by no means a photographer or no a lot about it, so if anyone has anything to add or change feel free.
