Some of My Photos

[Hookup]

Hey,
Well i see lots of photos of non-reef related items, and I thought i'd dig out some of mine and share. These are all from my Canon 20D, and likely all from the 70-200mm F4, though the funky architecture photo is definitely from the 10-22 and the Fern photo might be the 50mm F/1.8... I have the exif data on backup somewhere if anyone is dying to know the details...

Hey!
I think #3 is a great shot. I've been wanting a wide angle lens, one of these days... I would have to say #1 is the grabber, seems to draw you in. For shot 2 were you zoomed out all the way? Looks a little fuzzy, or could be my monitor. I suppose you have a tank if you are here going to post any pics of it?

Shot #2 was possibly using the 50mm F/18.. I'm not sure, but it is "soft" (aka blurry)... Which is too bad... I'm not a comfortable street-photographer at all, and taking that shot felt very intrusive... I like the end-result, even if it is a bit too soft... it's one of my fav.

Shot #3 is not color enhanced, they were bathing that building in colored lamps and it was past dusk, hence the cold-blue skies... I almost tossed that photo till someone saw it and said they liked it... the more I look at it the more I do like it for sure.

Here are some tank shots... i'm still learning for sure...

I like #1. Featherduster right? It is a challenge getting sharp macros. When I'm in the mood to set everything up I use a tripod, mirror lock up, remote shutter release and all pumps off. The fish hate it when I do that LOL. What f stop you using? The pic of your Stylophora has a very shallow depth of field.

Thanks. The soft-ness of the feather duster was on purpose... the shot was actually tripod mounted, remote shutter release, etc.. but i had the circ-pumps on... so the duster was moving... I had to take quite a few before I could determine a crop that I personally liked.

Would have to look at the images again in LR to know the EXIF data for these shots... i have them on the Mac at home.. should be easy to lookup... looking at it, I'm guessing F/8

the "funky architecture" photo is great. Great exposure for a dusk/night shot.
