I promised I would post some photos, and here they are.
These were all taken at Greenwich Aquaria in Connecticut, a store owned by my friend Jason Edward.
This is a series I've been working on, eventually I have plans to publish them in a book.

For equipment I shoot with a Nikon D200 and several different lenses. Most often
I use a Tamron 90mm 2.8 macro. Feel free to ask any questions,

thanks for looking :wub:

ok I love to give Jason a lot of crap, but I have to give props when they are due. he can grow coral like no one else I know. this tank is a year old. it began as rocks and a bunch of frags and very small colonies. Now colonies the size of basketballs need to be pulled from the tank to keep it from becoming overgrown. Jason gets all shy in public, but he needs to take a bow :lol:
This is the display tank by the way, or as I like to call it, the excuse for opening a aquarium store :wub:

Some truly stunning photography and a truly stunning tank.
How on earth do you get a tank to that stage in just 12 months. Incredible.
