Photo bank of captive aquacultured live corals & coral reef is an online identification guide project. These coral reef pictures will aid you with id. while scuba diving on the coral reef. I've been involved with coral reef aquaculture and scuba diving since the mid 90's. The macro coral pictures have been taken in captivity on my aquaculture farm. I have operated coral aquculture facilities since the last 90's. I strive to capture high detail in each macro coral reef picture. So the next time your on the reef it may be a bit easier to identify these species. If you are not a diver there is no better time to start. Scuba Diving is a great hobby and will provide a formal first hand introduction to live corals on the reef. You can visit each of the coral families with the menu on the left and see various pictures of some of the best coral specimens I have had here at my facility. Taking a great coral picture or taking a great coral reef picture while diving is not as complicated as you may think. A good picture is achieved by good process, and taking coral pictures in a tank or under water on a coral reef is a matter of trial and error. Be patient, it takes hundreds of snapped coral reef pictures for just a handful of good photos, and that is in the tank or on the coral reef. Start with a novice camera kit and most important strobe lights, they make a dramatic difference in focus and color saturation. In vest in good strobes they will atach to any outfit and your equipment grows, Digital cameras are your best bet. In taking photos underwater scuba of Coral Reef pictures make your subject is obvious. Choose subjects that fill the picture area of your lens. To photograph a small fish or tiny coral, use a lens that covers a picture area slightly larger than your subject. Use your scuba fins slightly and get as close as possible. Most important, prior to snapping the photo hold your breath and keep your scuba gear motionless. Prior to, get an idea of which way the current is heading. Using your scuba fins position yourself in the opposite direction, so as you float. You will slowly travel across the coral reef and come in contact with the perfect shot. You may have to picture shy fish from a few feet away, with a relatively small picture area. In this circumstance set your underwater digital scuba camera to the highest resolution possible and you can rework the photo later.
