lol nice yellow wrasse! these fishes are all vainpots. always like to look at their own reflection

Haha... took me awhile to get these photos, and they are nowhere near the qualities a DSLR can produce. I'm sooooooooo.... tempted, but my budget is holding me back. Can't have two expensive hobbies together...

[peacemaker]

Some shots with the macro lens...

I was gluing some loose zoa frags while they were closed, and it turned out that I have put together the purple hornets and pseudo purple hornets together on the same frag plug! The smaller polyps on the left are from LCK, and the bigger ones on the right are the cheapo version. It actually looks quite nice together! (Pure cheapo version on the 2nd pic).

Thanks! Still need loads of practice... any simple, not so high-end tri-pods to recommend?

My frags are just super slow in growth, so I really don't know when they will reach colony sizes. Its gonna take some time...

[peacemaker]

Yummy zoas!!

Thanks bro! Your collection is also

lol the cheapest tripod... 2 elbows and 1 stool

Or prop the camera on a table or something?

or gorillapod is a nice gadget if you are interested

[peacemaker]

The gorillapod seems interesting... where can I get it locally? How firm is it? I wouldn't want it collapsing or bending at the wrong time...

Thanks! I'll check it out.

There are 4 versions of the gorillapod with different weight handling specifications. You should actually get the one that is around double of the weight of your digicam/Prosumer/DSLR setup. This will ensure that the gorillapod will be stable and your camera will be safe...

As for the china ones, unless you are using a digicam/prosumer, I wouldn't recommend you to get it although it is much cheaper than the gorillapod.

[jackywongto]

thanks peter.

1st time i see these ...lol so cute.

[Firestarter]

Hey Peace, great to see that you have upgraded! I've been too busy now and my tank has gone downhill since.

Glad to see that you're doing well.

[teebs]

thanks peter.

They are pretty useful and according to what I know, the legs can be gripped round a branch/railing and you can set up your camera to take a photo from there. I considered getting one previously but was not sure and convinced of the practicality of the gorillapod so didn't get it in the end.

[jackywongto]

The survivor! This tough cookie seems very interested in his own reflection...

Looks very bright... hmmm maybe will get one for my nano. My baby sure will be enthused by its colour.

Always better to be safe than sorry.

Hey! How's things with you? I thought you'll join me in upgrading! Heh...

Its hardy, active, and if you've picked the right one, it helps you manage the zoa eating nudis for you! I say its a good deal!

this kinda thing shouldn't get pirated version la... I maybe cheapskate but I won't sacrifice my thousand dollar dslr just because i don't want to pay a red notes more...

yupz gorillapod is quite versatile if you don't like carrying tripod ard and not into like serious photography.
