Bored tank photography

[BobthePhotoGuy]

Got bored and did a bit of experimenting with camera gear. A bit over saturated but I was in a hurry to finish.

Hope You enjoy

Ok let us know what all is used to take the great pics and how you took them?

Thank you.



I used my Sony NEX 7. The lens is the experimental part.

The lens I use is an old (30 years or so) Sears 80-200 f4 macro m42 screw mount. I added about 2" of extension tubes.

I shot hand held but I did put the lens against the glass to add support.

Very cool. Was that all natural lighting as I know using extension tubes significantly cuts down on the light hitting the sensor? Good stuff...keep it coming.

The only lighting is the Reefbreeders Photon 48. The tank is a 110g.

So i have a nice new cannon but i dont have a macro lense. The lense i have was more for sports. So more for high speed and distance.
