Yeah I use the same settings/setup for top down as well. I have the porthole from Avast that goes over the lens and lets me shoot from underwater.

Extension tubes should be plenty to help you focus on closer pieces.

The pic you shot is good, but you can see how depth of field is causing focus issues on the branches that stick up. It looks like you focused at the base of the frag and that puts the branches out of depth. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just how cameras work. Something to try to help minimize that is reducing focal length a little (zoom out), stopping down to f/11 or so, and put your focus point on the closest piece to the camera. Depth of field tends to be a bit more forgiving to the rear. But sometimes you’ll just have to make a compositional choice on what is sharpest a d being ok with some parts out of focus.

You can also try taking two photos one focused on the branches and one focused on the base, and then stack them in photoshop… but that’s a lot of work.

I got this to f/10 at best but couldn’t get the closest branch in focus. But thanks I’ll keep trying to get better photos.

@Battlecorals just saw a social media post from WWC that they’re suspending shipping due to the cold snap that is about to happen. Are you doing the same?

Thanks Adam, I was in on the Rainbow's and the frag was doing great until I got SCTLD from what I believe was a CUC order. Wiped out 90% of my across.

Things are doing much better now.

Adam is closely watching the weather. So far he is not too concerned with the cold however the winter storm in his main concern which may delay shipping for some.

Thank a ton for asking. I am very much tuned in it to. Definitely unfortunate timing. As of now I have a few orders I am going to try to get out Monday. Still not 100% on those even.


But, I am already planning for the probability that we’ll have to push everything to the following week. and if that’s the case, everyone that’s on the schedule will hear from me for sure and we’ll go over rescheduling.

I know the news can sometimes make these things out to be worse than what actually happens, so maybe we’ll catch a break. But at this point I won’t be surprised if we have to cancel many of them.

The KY hub in Louisville is in the danger zone from what it looks like.

Worst case scenario, waiting another week won’t hurt. You’re doing a fine job growing them for us.

I like this... plus, it's another week to get my tank all dialed in
