Some bored out of my mind pics

[350gt]

So my tank is being prepped to house all different types of zoas and palys... I had some frags and went crazy gluing them everywhere..... its still a mixed reef and have sps and chalices but I got the zoo itch awhile back........ hope you like...

And I have frags of almost everything, so i am willing to trade for other zoas... PM me.

LOL, that's an awesome idea! A mobile frag. Awesome pics and collection BTW.

[350gt]

Im hoping it does well..... Lol

Guess i would never get tired of coral placement with this method....

[Pennies2Cents]

Beautiful!

[grouch]

Very Nice, what camera and lense do you use ?

[350gt]

Thanks....

Canon t3i and a 100mm macro(non is) lens

[Bill S]

Very, very cool!

[grouch]

Cool very simular cameras, I have Nikon D5100 so all I need now is a better lense.


Thanks....

Most oem lenses are garbage.... Most..

Spending on a lens is a great idea if you really use your camera....

Check out craigslist or you can even rent before you buy at some camera places... Thats what i did with this lens and had to have it...

For our vacation to disney over the summer the wife bought me a 15-85mm lens and it is awesome... Not even a L series lens but much more better quality than with what came as a package..

[350gt]

Im no pro by far but just messing with this camera these couple of years now and cant stand to use anything other than manual mode.... I like complete control... And i am still learning...


A cheaper option for macro shots is extension tubes, look them up on amazon. They should be under $20

[grouch]

Yeah I wouldn't buy either of the 2 lenses that came with the camera if I had my choice, but got a great deal on it as a package. Years back (40 yrs.) I had a Minolta SRT202 with some exceptional lenses that I bought. I am just not crazy about the new digital cameras like the old ones. Every setting was manual and you couldn't see the picture until it was developed. LOL But the flexibility with those cameras for specific effects was great.

I have my dads camera that he bought over seas... Its from the 70s..

I dont know how to use it... Lol i just stare at it.... Cool piece though.

One day i will pull it down and mess with it.

I have the D7000- Wanting to do the same.. Great Camera. The possibilities with lenses are endless. :)

[350gt]

I can wait to upgrade... Lol

But it will just be the body this time..

Question:

Is the larger frag in the middle the same as the colony? If so, are you selling that frag?

No Eve, everything has work fine so far. I've had it a year and am still learning how to use it though. So different from the old style SLR's.

350 just bring that frag rack and you're old mans camera over and I'll show you how to use it. Of course the frags get to stay. LOL

Ok Thank you, Ive had mine 2.5 years. Yes So So Much Different. Quality is still amazing. :) With my photography business Im hoping and guessing its just wear and tear, but i know I need to get it serviced soon.

Lol camera is a yashica fx2

Looks a lot like all SLRs back in the day. Manually set film speed (ASA) light meter in viewfinder, lens ring adjust apature and dial on top to adjust shutter speed and lens manual focus ring. Get your light meter in the viewfinder centered in the gauge with apature (f-stop) and shutter speed, then focus the lens then shoot. Good luck finding a place to develope film though, LOL

[zerreissen]

One of the things I struggle with is White Balance, especially with LED's. Looks like you've got that down though, 350gt. Any pointers?

[350gt]

What camera you using?

On my canon:
Put something white in the tank... I used a piece of pvc..

Take a pic, go into the menu and settings, look for white balance and select it. You then select the pic of the pvc and wolla the canon handles the rest.... It took me a couple of tries to get it right.... But i set it and forget it... Pretty neat imo..


Asfar as settings

Nothing but manual mode

Manual focus

i use live view for macro shots.... Another awesome feature...

[zerreissen]

Nikon D90. Did some reading up on it and I see that I can use Live View to see the White Balance settings in real time, or use the PRE setting and basically do the same as you are describing, take a pic of something white in the tank and allow the camera to figure out the settings on its own. Didn't realize this was possible with this camera, I've just been guessing at the settings and hoping they come out OK. Now I have something to mess with when I get home today ;)

[350gt]

Hope it works out!

It will take a few shots before its accurate... Well for me it did....

Gl!

[zerreissen]

Wow, just tried it and it works like a charm! It's like a whole new level of aquarium photography!
