Last night, I took a few pictures with a handheld flashlight. I hope you enjoy these.

    Hey Marc, great flashlight pics. The red Acan that is half white, is that dieing and is it just half one color and half another?

    Very beautiful Marc! I believe that is a War Coral (Favia) Midnight. If I'm not mistaken.

    Yes, that is correct.

    Looks like some sort of Fungia (Plate coral) species, Marc correct me if I'm wrong.

    Nice pics... Your flashlight pics look better than many of my lights on pics...Just reinforces the idea that I need to get a DSLR and a good tripod.

    The fifth picture is a tongue plate coral from Australia. I've had it for a few years.

    The valonia is in the frag tank where I keep and feed the sun corals. The last picture is my new black suncoral, but it closed up when the flashlight hit it. I hope to get a really good representation of that coral for y'all to see because it is a stunner. The skin on the skeleton is deep dark green, not black (unlike the image above) and the polyps are huge and open during the dark hours.

    I did use a tripod Blake. I think it was ISO 320, f/3.5, with a shutter speed around 200th/sec - I'll have to check the exif of the originals to know for sure.

    Yeah, I figured you were using a tripod, or atleast a very steady prop. Pictures that sharp in really low lighting are very hard to achieve without a stable rest.

    Do you use a remote release as well?
