Playing with the new camera

[gflat65]

I don't have a nice macro lens yet, but some of these turned out okay. I'm using an IceCap heat sink propped against the glass as a tripod, too.

A few actinics
My favorite Aussie Acan

Neon Duncan's

Actinic Pavona

Neon Green cloves with red stripes on fingers

I think this is my second (or at least in a 100 way tie for second) favorite Aussie

Blurry, but got this ORA torquise stag yesterday (along with the next few shots and a Solarensis wrasse).

ORA Australian Delicate

Some other neon green polyped ORA (was completely purple under his VHO's)

And some fishdoc frags. Not the best shots (need to use a higher fstop, but without a tripod, that's not the easiest thing to do...). Even if they are blurry, I can start documenting my frags now that I only have a handful of SPS. I haven't gotten many shots of the other tank with a few other nice SPS...

What kind of camera and lens are you using Gary? Nice shots

Gary, Glad to see you gettin some corals growing in your tank.

It's a Canon Rebel XTi with the cheapo f5.8 18-55mm lens. Works great, but I need more zoom. I need a tripod, a macro, and a macro light (hoping that will add the needed light to stop the flash from popping up...). That should get me off to a good start. Camera shake kills me...

Once I got the MR4 going and kept it going started looking a lot better (I couldn't keep up with evaporation until I got the auto top off hooked up-took entirely too long to get it done).

I just picked up a Nikon D 50 today, trying to figure the thing out. I also want to add a 50 - 200mm zoom lens pretty soon. I would take some pictures but I need to scrape the glass first
