So after a million cell phone pics I figured I'd try and get pics with my Canon. Read some of the photography threads here and am trying to up my picture taking game. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for sharing!
 
good photos, beautiful corals. I think you could make better pictures! watch your f/stop - in some cases you do not have enough depth of field to be sharp thru the photo (if you want to). Same goes for shutter speed/handheld blur - If your camera supports a high-ISO, you can still hand-hold and get sharp photos. Also, some cameras or lenses have stabilization.

It certainly appears that you have mastered growing these corals. They are spectacular. keep at it.

Thank you! and I appreciate the camera tips!
 
Here's a quick cell pic of the tank. Set up March 2017 after a move. Pic is current. I'll try to get a better pic with the camera later.
