new lens

[carloschali]

I picked up a macro lens and I have taken these pics of my favorite corals.
I am still practicing trying to get the white balance just right, so any advice would be appreciated...

Nice corals. Which lens did you pick-up?

the color and light is there, but you have some motion blur, what did you shoot these at?

They look really good but they lack the "sharpness" if you know what i mean. Whats your set up? That is a fantastic lens though I would buy it if he's giving you a deal

Id say your white balance is fine. The colors are rich and life like. Nice corals!

Thanks for the feedback... Since DoF gets very small very quickly I was shooting Aperture mode at F/10, thats probably why there is some blur... I didn't turn off the pumps either and that may have caused the subjects to move a bit... I should probably shoot with a tripod...
