Another thing about photography...don't be discouraged if you you only get 1 out of every 100 shots that are worth keeping, or even 1 out of every 500

ok..my husband came home with a tamron 90mm bought it after he got out of work....then went to best buy to return the nikon d3100 and exchange for a canon rebel t1i...this is it...best buy is getting a bit annoyed its the third time we are returning

so right now my husband is taking pics..and i can see a smile on his face..he said he love it....will post some pics once he is done....he doesnt even wanna let me see it

 

[Krish]

Very nice shot!! You are doing much better than me!! I have a Cannon Rebel XT, a Nikon, a fujifilm and even a tripod and still have yet to take one decent picture :lol:

 

[mfinn]

Hope he picked up a tripod along with the cool macro lens.

I also have a Canon Rebel XT 8.x megapixel and love it..I do have a tripod but really need a macro lens however they are pricy and since I don't take as many pics, it is low on the priority list to buy.

we have a tripod that my bro in law gave us
my husband took some pics but nothing came out that i like...i was gonna try it out but battery died....i cant wait to take pics myself

 

[NC2WA]

Tell your husband he needs to save some battery life for you (and the fish) too.

here are some pics that i took....only with actinics on,yup i am still awake and i woke up the corals too....they are half asleep half awake so they are not fully open right now....i am just too excited to try the macro lens
heres a few decent pics....its a bit tiring but its way better than a point and shoot

this chalice is in the very front of the tank....

one of my favorite chalice

my pride and joy rainbow wellso..its not fully open....

i tried taking pics of my yellow tang but he moves too much...i took like 10 pics and this is the only one i can show the rest is deleted

yup next time i should clean the tank first

 

[luisse25]

i dont know what i did but this one i turned out to be more close up

[luisse25]

to to your settings on your camera and go to picture style.. set the saturation up one notch. the Contrast up two notches and sharpness all the way up
then make sure the camera is exactly perpendicular to the tank..
I actually rest the lens against the tank it's self for stability..
(softly of course)
ISO 100-200
F-stop 5.8-10
shutter speed adjust accordingly to brightness of lighting..
FULL MANUAL operation setting..

 

[NC2WA]

en make sure the camera is exactly perpendicular to the tank..

Hence the need for a tripod
