Do you just have a uv filter on that glass? How far away were you from that coral when you took the pic?

I was about 6" away from the glass, the clove polyp sits about 3" inside the tank..so I guess a total of 9"

Nice shot.

gasman...the only thing I dont like about the lens is.....you can really see how dirty your tank glass is.... I thought mine was super clean...looking thru the lens...wow get the scraper out

great shot brian!!

 

[compulou]

Sick pic Brian!!!

Here's one I took playing with my brothers Nikon D40 Digital SLR. I think it was the standard lens.

And I don't know cra_p about cameras. He just lent it too me for a bit. Know I want to learn more!!!

Brian, how much do you think a Macro type lens would go for that camera?

Again Killer pic dude, I hope you don't mind as I copied it and sent to my bro just so he can see the type of pics I want to take with his cam of my tank.

 

[bckane]

Nice photo Lou..
On the lens for the Nikon.....I'm kind of new to this Marco shots myself. You may want to ask Jeffbrig...he knows his stuff. I just got my lens last night before the meeting so just been playing around with it today. I'm very happy with the lens I got......took a lot of nice Marco shots today...not saying I mastered it yet. Tomorrow will try some fish shots

Great pic, Brian!

compulou, 3rd party macro lenses (Sigma 90, Tamron 105, etc.) start around $400. I'm not sure of the exact Nikon offerings (I'm a Canon guy), but expect to find a macro lens near 100mm for $500-600.

Best site for quick/easy pricing:
www.bhphoto.com
(there are a lot of camera stores online ready to rip you off, BH photo is NOT one of them)

 

[jeffbrig]

Okay, I clicked on my own link to take a look, and see a 60mm Nikon AF for $400. If Nikon makes something in the ~100mm range, BH doesn't sell it.

 

[jessp]

this may seem like a dumb question, but do you have to do anything special to make the space between the polyp tentacles so black? or is that just the natural light?

 

[jessp]

btw i think we could have some potential photo of the month pics w/ that new lens

 

[Speckled Grouper]

Ok, I'm officially jealous...lol.
I will be looking for that lens in the near (very near) future.

BTW, Brian, are you glad you got that XTi? I love mine, even though I'm still on page 1 of the manual
