Silver Lining in my CLOUD!

[TJL]

Well, posting new pics a day late because of going to Dr appt (border-line Walking-Pneumonia) feeling a lot better today. Anyhow here is the best pics I could capture of each of my fish. I know now how really dificult it is to get good shots of something in continual motion, maybe 12 keepers out of 200+ shots.

Lil Miss Tail-spot Blenny exp 1/25, F/5.6, ISO-800, ap 5, 200mm

Mr Bicolor Blenny exp 1/25, F/5.6, ISO-800, ap 5, 200mm

Flame Hawk exp 1/30, F/8, ISO-800, ap 5, 200mm

Radiant Wrasse exp 1/60, F/5, ISO-400, ap 4.7, 200mm

Ornate Leopard Wrasse exp 1/25, F/5.6, ISO-800, ap 5, 200mm

and more below:

Best pic of one of my Bangaii Cardinals to date exp 1/40, F/5.6, ISO-400, ap 5, 200mm

Bangaii pair exp 1/25, F/6.3, ISO-800, ap 5 200mm

Ever so destructive pair of clowns getting ready to lay eggs on a new victim (brain coral)

they have killed so many corals the last few months by relocating nearby corals away from eggs, Acans onto favias-chalices into acans-rics into acans etc...

Then the by far the hardest to capture my Tangs and little Azure Demoiselle to follow:

This little guy/gal is so hard to get a good focus on, only 2 out of maybe 25+ shots worth saving.

Azure Demoiselle: exp 1/60, F/5.3, ISO-400, ap 4.8, 200mm

Hawaiian Kole Tang from Les: exp 1/25, F/6.3, ISO-800, ap 5, 200mm

Powder Blue Tang another hard to get focus on fish: exp 1/60, F/5.6, ISO-400, ap 4.7, 200mm

only decent shot of the Bully-of-my-tank:

and last but not least my sweet little camera-shy Green Target Mandarin: exp

Any feedback, suggestions or good tips to taking fish pics woould be appreciated.

Cheers, Todd

Thanks Todd and Alex, been alot of fun so far but definitely will be nice to have a good macro lens to play with as well. And now I suppose with 2 Camera Todds I'll have to be referred to as "Older Wiser Camera Todd" or" New Camera Todd" either way I'm good ... lol

Cheers, Todd

Hope your feeling better Todd.

The Azure Demoiselle is a wonderful picture. Also one of my favorite fish. Nice work!

Man...this is so confusing. Now we'll have to call you "the other Todd with a camera". Not to be confused with "Camera Todd".
