My Tank Tour - In MACRO Photography!

[IEreefmaster]

As the Title says... Today, I got my new addition to my photography kit...

The Canon 100mm Macro f/2.8 USM lens... Let the sick photography begin!

Here is an example of the detail it can capture...

Good things are definitely to come!

Crazy nice...it's almost as good as my cell phone-ography lol

 

[FOSELONE]

[IEreefmaster]

[gumbii]

that's what everyone needs to take pictures of corals mouths...

no no no... i don't want the whole colony, just the mouth...


HAHAHAHA... j/k...


must come in handy to take pics of microzoanthids...

LOL, what's funny is I thought the same thing, I don't just want to use the lens to take pictures of ridges of corals. What sweet is you can actually switch it to shoot like a 100mm telephoto lens. It actually takes great telephoto pictures.

how much does it cost you for that lens?

 

[IEreefmaster]

how much does it cost you for that lens?

$599.99... Unless you want the Canon 100mm L Series, then it is $1,049.99.

AND It's still cheaper than the Canon F/2.8L 70-200mm USM IS. That will run you about $2,500.00

nice close up pics of corals. I mainly like the paly/zoa ones since you can still see the entire coral .:smile (2):

Nice lens Mike, where did you get it? I want one

Thanks Kat... I agree with you...actually my favorite picture is of the Undata. Because not only does it have amazing coloration, but as you said you can see the whole colony. I have a couple other big big ones at the bottom of my tank, but they are not colored up yet.

Kev, you can find them pretty much any camera store. If it were me I would get it online you will probably save a couple bucks. Check Amazon.com, B&H Photo, Adorama.com. Those are all great sites and very reputable for camera gear. I personally get all mine on either Amazon, or Adorama. Remember: It is a higher skill and more advanced lens, if you ask many people who try and use it they can't figure out how it really works.

But, I tell you what you get one, kick me a frag or two and I will help you....lol

The fish are very hard to get, because you have to open the aperture to let more light in, problem is your shutter speed decreases significantly. So, you will get blurry photos if you aren't careful but these two aren't bad.
