My first attempt at any coral or pictures of corals. I’m sure I’ll find a better approach eventually.

Here's my submission!
Truly a wonderful full tank shot and I think it helped me understand why I have a gha problem. I need blackout curtains lol
I chose this photo because it is two things I struggle with. While not nearly the worst photo I took in this session, the foreground is out of focus, and the Leopard Wrasse in focus is dark and distant. I have deleted countless pictures that are out of focus in the foreground but otherwise like. Also, there is a lot of particulate in the water in this lengthwise shot. My Sea Hare pooped and quickly shut down my photo session. I tend not to run heavy mechanical filtration with high turnover in my reefs, so detritus in the water column can be frustrating for photos.

ooh I want a frag lol
Ooooh...window glare is my bane for photos of client's tanks. Open floor plan with lots of windows is a realtors dream but aquarium photography nightmare

It's the bane of mine! Our tank is relatively close to a window, so whenever I get pictures of our tank, I either have to stand in this awkward position to not have a glare or just photoshop the glare out of the photo (which is too much work, lol).

Someone needs to enter this contest with one of those disposable film cameras you could get at the drug store. That would be a winner, for sure.

Just go pick your corals up from Shane instead of having rob send you more.

thats today
I already have them, at my house
It's not a terrible picture. I did pull it out of my deleted folder in lightroom. I was trying to emphasize the struggle of getting a shot that I rather like, but the focus is in the wrong place and it just becomes distracting. The brightly lit out of focus anthias in the foreground are visually straining for me. I was trying to get the mirror effect of the front glass, but haven't nailed a shot I like yet.
