Free Wallpaper from fluorescence session

 A few days ago I had an opportunity to visit one of Manhattan Reefs members- Richie Karagozler- and to photograph his awesome 450g mixed reef tank. I made myself a goal that I would leave with at least few good fluorescence shots so I could make another free wallpaper for Reefs.com Blog readers. Here’s how it ended up:

You can download them by clicking on the images; they will automatically load a high resolution version of the image. From that you can right-click and choose “Save As…” to download the wallpaper.

First is a Hammer/Anchor Coral (Euphyllia ancora). It is a Large Polyped Stony Coral that has characteristic kidney-shaped polyps that extend in all directions.

    Hi Marcin… how did you take those shots? Special lens?

    Special filter for my lens and for the flashes. I have to tweak the exposure to the point where the image is underexposed but the fluorescence parts get overexposed with flash (by changing flash exposure settings). That makes a nice fluorescence shot.
