just posted some sample top down shots that I will work on improving over at the Photography section and I thought I'd post some of our favorites... ZOAS!

this one is for Jeremy (coralnutz)... I got this from our first ever club-zoa trade.. we've come a long way and so as these.. started with 2 polyps.. I thought that I lost them coz when I got them, they were so squooshed but as you can see, they made a comeback... it took them a good 3-4 months before settling in...

I need to learn how to do top downs. Great pics!
I see your Titaniums are starting to get the speckling and those Rasta's really look good.

Gee Marvin, ya got me all excited there for a moment. After stumbling across a website called “Upskirt Shots†the other day, The title of this thread got me all worked up!:hammer:

Quite nice, what are you shooting through to eliminate the water motion?

first off.. Thanks again guys.. :)

Bryce, believe it or not, I'm only using a salad bowl I bought at Farmer Jack for $4.99... LoLz... :lol:

my wife was making fun of me when I bought it and I told her just watch... and showed her the pics and she was somewhat impressed, I think... hahaha... it was the funniest thing.. $4.99 investment and it turned out alright... :D

I was going to have somebody make me a custom top down box but they were charging an arm and a leg for it so I had to come up with an alternative.. :)

Your Rasta's have really had an explosion!, one of my frags died off a while ago thats why mine went stagnent, but now they are poping off polyps every few weeks.....
