zoa macros

Pics of my nano zoas

I bumped the tank with the lens and some of the zoas retracted

The skirts on these guys are really long since I've placed them in a higher flow area.

Nice pics!

 

[maxalmon]

Nikon D40x
I'm still working with the depth of field issue and have found that f16-20 works the best.

 

[mpoletti]

Yep, I am between 18-20 and and iso of 400. At least I can start to see some improvemnt in my shots. What are you doing for your WB and what types of lights do you run? Thanks

Hey maxalmon, are you using any macro lenses and/or extensiont housings? If so, why type?

These were taken with a Nikon 105mm Macro AF-VR, with the automfocus off and the VR off, kinda means that I spent a lot of money on a lens that I turn all the options off...LOL...

Lighting for the pics is whatevers in the canopy of my bio-cube, some type of PC...
I usually take several of the same image and bracket shoot them

Thanks for the reply! My wife and I are looking at getting a new DSLR camera and I wondered what lenses I should look into. The D40x was the camera I was interested in, so I was glad when you said that was the camera you used!
