Hello again,

So here we go. Yesterday I was in London for work and as I came back in the airport I could not resist a promotion in a electronics shop!

100€ less of what I have seen as the cheapest price and so it came with me inside by backpack to Portugal

Canon 100mm Macro IS USM 2.8

As soon as the lights went on this morning I took so test shots.

Canon 400D, aperture priority (8), ISO400 and AF with central point measurement.

Didn't stopped the circulation pumps, haven't cleaned the glasses and only edited in Adobe Lightroom to correct the whitebalance to 14000k

Here are the results. I am very happy

Nesta foto estou no fundo do meu escritório a 6m de distância do aquário e mesmo assim não o consigo apanhar todo ... LOL!

Now imagine what I can do with circulation pumps off, clean glasses, manual focus and time to edit the photo ... :bounce2::bounce2::bounce2:

All the best,
Rui

Redplanet with Canon 400D + 50mm 1.8 II

Redplanet with Canon 400D + 100mm 2.8 IS USM Macro

What a difference .... HEIN????

Wow. So many changes...I love the tidy up work you did. The Apex system looks brilliant. I'll be asking you to setup mine if I ever buy one lol.

The corals look great. The photography has improved so much as well. :thumbsup:

I'll take a closer look at things when home.

Thanks Sahin,

A lot more to come now with the tank exchange!
I suffer from some sort of OCD and I will not ease my mind until I replace it!

I am super excited about this 100mm Macro ...

Thanks for pushing me to use the DSLR !!!

All the best,
Rui

Hello thanks SPotter

The last coral ones were on a Canon 400D with Cannon 100mm Macro 2.8 usm

The fish ones and some of the previous coral ones are with the Canon 400D with a Canon 50mm 1.8 II

Setting was aperture priority set at 8, ISO 400, AF central point measurement and that's it

I then import to adobe lightroom to adjust the white balance and remove some noise.

But these are just my first photos as you can see from the rest of the topic. I am no expert. I just follow friends advise ...

All the best,
Rui

Hello,

Since the camera lens and also all the concept of taking pictures to the aquarium is new ... I need to keep practicing

microclados

for those in Europe this one is know as Joe Carduus (although it's a tortuosa!)

All the best,
Rui
