I always take pictures with the powerheads off, but this time I thought I'd take some with it moving. This is with the actinics only and a flash. I kind of like 'em, but you guys be the judge.

Man, am I bored or what?

I installed 4x 4' VHO actinics and retired the old 4' NO bulbs. I like the change.

Thanks for the kind words, Folks. I kinda thought it was like looking down into a lagoon or something. Or it's late and I'm imagining things.:help:

Regards,
Tom

The second to last is my favorite. The colors, composition, even the distortions of the waves... perfect in all aspects to me. :)

Great shots.

I think they're fantastic, i'm impressed.

How did you convince your camera to focus through the moving water like that? I've never had any luck at all with it.


The first and the fifth are my favorites.
The first because it looks like an infinite ocean stretching off into the background (and has fantastic colors), the fifth i don't really know why, but i like it a lot.
