TWOLITREmedia's 75g BowFront Reef!

Everything looking very nice! I can feel your enthusiasm through your posts! Welcome to the obsession....my poor dogs feel neglected that I'm always staring at that big water bowl in the corner

 

Haha all my reptiles stare at the tank all day now thinking.....what the heck? He used to play with us more!

Lovely tank, congrats on getting an established tank. Make sure and shoot square on to your target with the bowfront and don't expect to get a wide area in focus. You are adjusting quite well.


Hopefully your reptiles don't get too jealous.

 

This is a great set up. Take care of it and I guarantee, a year from not, you won't even recognize it. This thing is going to fill in nicely!

 

Yes! This was certainly the number one thing I noticed. A lot different than shooting my regular material haha....
Here's one of my shots of my other of many obsession in my life, my car

My Ek Fall 2012 by Emilio Ciccarelli | www.TWOLITREmedia.com, on Flickr

Oh I am so excited! I found a local guy who sells coral out of his house and HOLY MOLY what a jackpot that place it. He does 5$ frag deals every day, has the largest quatity of the nicest coral in town and he is the coolest guy ever. He can get all equipment at well below what I have seen it listed online, and is being amazingly helpful with everything as he knew the previous owner!

The three week countdown till a new piece is on ;D

 

Sweet shot, photography is addicting as reefing if you have the right equipment. I just went DSLR this May and have taken about 10000 shots. I have even upgraded my camera body and lenses already. I probably have $4000 into my camera kit.

 

Awesome! I shoot professionally and have been shooting for a long time now so I can justify my $10k + in equipment. After automotive modification and photography equipment, reefing is actually reasonably priced which is nice!
What do you shoot with?

 

LOL I bet reefing is. I have a Canon 7D now but started with T3i with the 18-55 and 55-250 kit lenses. I know have the EF-s 10-22 3.5-4.5, EF-s 17-55 2.8, EF 50 1.4, EF 100 2.8 macro and 70-300 4-5.6. I am looking to go L on the 70-300 and maybe get the Sigma 150-500 for birding.

 

Nice! I started on a Nikon D70, then grabbed a 7D when it was released, then a 5DmkI, and now I have a 5DmkII and a 1DmkII for back-up. Lenses are as listed below:
Canon 70-200mm f4L
Canon 135mm f2L
Canon 28-70mm f2.8L
Canon 50mm f1.4
Canon 20-35 f2.8L

A whole whack of goodies to go along with that stuff, but this is my bread and butter. My design work is a whole other story, 27" iMac and my 15.6" Macbook Pro fill those duties out nicely.

I'm addicted to technology......and reefing!

 

Nice list, the 24-70 and 70-200 lenses are on my consideration list also. Along with a boatload more, LOL. I have ND and CPL filters for my lenses. Look into a macro lens for your reef you will love it. I know I love mine. Your tripod will be very important with the macro I am sure you know. I am looking into a new monitor since I have a 22" one and it is seems to be getting small for PP. I use DPP every once in a while and alternate between DxO and LR4 for PP. I have also got PSE11 which I don't use much but plan to in the future and Photomatix for HDR work.

I am kind of a techie when it comes to the things I am interested in only.
