...with a slight twist. I just took maybe 20 photos of my reef....and during the course of the day I believe I'll shoot many more....as I process them (crop/resize...maybe slight shadow/highlight adjust....rarely sharpen)....I'll post them up for all to see. In a few months my lil reef will be 2 years old...despite a few problems/issues/set backs...I like the way its evolved......
My first peek at Wizardry Reef on this fine Sunday is a photo taken with flash in micro mode...actinic lighting only....early in the AM (the actinics had just come on)...the only adjusts are first crop to select the image I wanted to save... slight adjustment to shadows/highlights....re-sized to fit restrictions here.......and thats it....not great detail but a decent glimpse of what my eye saw sitting on the lower left section of my reef.
So.....
....here is the first of my Sunday 6-pak.....as I get 'em ready there will be more to follow.

I have a second photo of some of my zoo collection. I really like the color diversity....some bright some more subtle.....

Lots of zoo pics this morning....they look much different in my aquarium under only the actinic lighting....this is another peek using the flash on the camera. I wish I could get good photos of how they "actually" look under the blue actinics.

Another zoo photo...I've managed to collect some pretty decent color morphs over the past few years.

I do try to have as diverse a reef as possible and I do keep a few corals other than zooanthids...

...but I do like the diversity of zoos....I'm always on the look-out for a new color morph....these have been extremely hard to photograph due to their location in my reef....under actinic lighting the orange is absolutely brilliant!!! This colony is maybe football sized and has grown out from about 20 origional polyps.

Zooanthids....diversity....need I say more?

...and believe it or not my zooanthids represent a small percentage of the corals in my lil 100 gal display!!!!

Thats actually one over a 6-pak already and thats only part of the first set of pics I've taken today. Looks like maybe this might evolve into a kegger.....
