    I FINALLY got around to ordering a new screen for my camera...the one that the fiance broke 2 years ago by hitting it with a cornhole beanbag (i know i am a huge procrastinator...and he is a terrible shot lol)...anyway im excited to take some nice upclose and personal shots that i never could do with my cell camera...mainly because i am supposed to wear glasses or contacts and i dont...so things are not as clear to me as they should be...and now when i need something IDed you dont have to deal with some blurry blob or fuzzy thing that you have to guess at (although props to Coralline...always seems to know the answer no matter how blurry the pic is haha). Anyway just wanted to share because i am proud of myslef that i finally ordered the dang thing hahaha!::) Maybe now i will finally get around to ordering that pump so i can get rid of that Excaliber and get my beloved Eororeef back in the water...maybe lol!

    The suspense is killing me. This guy's pictures are going to be AMAZING!!

    darn cornhole beanbag's preventing the reef queen from getting up close and personal.

    Best pic thread ever?
