Macro shots from LoJack's Reef

[LoJack]

I borrowed a macro lens from a friend of mine before buying one for myself. Trying to figure out how to use it. Much more challenging than I thought. The colour and lighting seems to be thrown off in every shot, even under the same camera settings.

Here's the best of the crop though "¦ let me know what you think.

Electric Green Torch Coral:



Green Birdsnest:





Unknown Acro "¦ Blazing Yellow with Gorgeous purple tips, my favourite piece in my tank for sure









ORA Red Planet:



Unknown green bushy acro:





If you have any tips or tricks on how to improve macro photography I'm all ears. I'm struggling with this lens and I'm having a hard time getting crisp shots.

The Rest:

Didn't realize you couldn't attach more than 10 images. I guess I've never tried before lol. Here are the rest of them.

Really deep orange, Monti Capricornis:



And a nice Purple Monti Capricornis:



Unknown greenish zoanthid:



Acropora Valida:





Blue Tip Acropora

Nice pics. Should consider closing your aperture a little in order to get more DOF in the pictures such as the Valida. Just a thought.

Thanks, I'm a beginner when it comes to photography, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Even more so when it comes to macro shooting.

Start shooting F8-F13 if your camera can handle a higher ISO. I can't see any of your EXIF info so I don't know what camera you are shooting with.
