Alright, I tried to catch the same scene in my tank, as there is currently a few molts, but at the end couldn't. It's hard to accept how catching a nice movie rely on dumb luck sometimes ^^
Anyway your video is clearl and super nice ! And a little creepy, in a way, too

Fun development! I started playing around with the manual settings on my phone camera and am getting some much better results! I was able to adjust f stop and use manual focus for this shot. I still think the new LEDs are going to help and I am noticing some distortion from the plastic (planning to...

Hi Marianne. Your pictures are amazing! I have been experimenting with my SLR but I'm not getting anything like your results. I am going to try adding an extension tube and I have some blue LEDs on order for the tank. This is the best one I've managed so far. Plesse keep your awesome pictures comin...

Thank you for your encouragements :D (I would be even happier if people have tips and story about how to take pictures:movies, don't hesitate :smt006 ) I took advantage of an order for setting up a friend's new tank to sneak in snails for my tank... and I've spent waaay too much time to look at them...

Hi blubird I could be completely wrong, but on the side of the "black algae".. it seems that it developped on the exposed sides of the rock only. Can you remove it from rock at all, by scrubing ? If not... To me, that looks a lot like oxidation of iron, and the lava rock are quite rich in ...

I've thought about getting a 20x macro lens for my phone camera, but haven't committed to it. Since this is the only subject that I have in mind to shoot. As for the scratching...

Thanks Marianne. Very impressive results!

Thank you ! Do you also try taking pictures of your small shrimps ?

Hello SailorFromRI :smt006 I used an Olympus TG4. It's a very versatile camera with a great macro mode (and also can be immersed in water, I've done that in the sea but here it would scare the little criters too much). I could add an other 10x lens but I think I'm already loosing a lot in depth of f...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, but have been reading for a while, to install and keep my opae ula tank (a gift ecosphere was what got me started) I'm combining my passion for macro photography with my opae ula hobby. My tank is 2.5g with around 13-20 shrimps (they've had babies so I've lost count hon...
