Very nice Kevin....................What type of camera did you get?

 

[Curlsoc]

Nice! Any fancy name besides brown for the zoos in the third zoo picture? Those look just like my hitchikers.

 

[Raskal311]

I didn't get a chance to adjust the camera for the two zoo picture since I had just adjusted it for the first two (diff tanks) but its more purple with orange skirts. Not sure on the name but here is a differrent colony.

This was taken with a super old point and shoot.

D70 with a macro lens that cost as much as the camera itself I was going to get Gal's D80 but I coudn't pass up this lens.

Nice camera! I wish to have one like you.

Man I need a macro, or micro as Nikon calls them. Is your the 105mm one? I really want the 105mm VR.

 

[Raskal311]

its a 150mm,

ReefPlanet, stop bragging I already know you have a much better camera then mine.

 

[OCReefMadness]

Wow! 150mm Macro len is a lot better than 105mm len.

Nice pics...as an amateur photographer(talking about myself here lol), let me make a couple of suggestions I am sure you already know.

When shooting with this macro lens, you should only do so in manual mode. You'll need to play with the Fstop , Iso, and whitebalance to get the right colors to show.

Yours pics look overexposed which is due to the aquarium lighting, so you need to reduce your shutter and maybe play with iso til you get a good pic. Make sure to use a tripod and remote.

I realize this is just the first attempts, but just trying to make the learning curve faster for you I was in the same boat as you not long ago, heck I am still learning lol.

Of course you can process the pics after shooting as well, but its nice to find all the right settings before you need to process, to save you time. Work on the white balance, f-stop, and iso settings. Also, if you haven't already, get a nice circular polarizing lens.

Otherwise, lookin good
