I guess I still have some practising to do, everyone's pics are so much clearer than mine. :frown:

ditto... pentax optio S40 = :mad:

use a tripod. also a camera with manual settings helps as well as only keeping about 15 out of 100 shots :mrgreen:

Steve

I use a Canon 20D Digital and I love the pics that come out... I'll dig them up and post. Maybe take some new ones.

Deb, Steve what type of cameras are you using?

Steve

Edit: Never mind, just looked up your camera :lol:

Macro Lense?

Walter

i for the life of me cannot get macros like you folks can!! :evil: what's the deal? are all your corals within 2 inches of the glass or what? or is it my camera...or just operator error :redface: hehe i've got a canon a510 is this capable of those shots, does anyone know??

darryl

I think your canon should be capable of it, it has a 5 cm macro. Make sure you have the macro setting on and you are holding the camera fairly still. Perhaps use a tripod if you have one. :biggrin:

Christy :)

yah, i think it has 5cm macro and i do have a tripod...but that's why i'm asking if all those shot's are of the corals are within 5 cm of the glass? mine are all futher back i guess. i think maybe i just need more practice...everyones shots look like bizzare microscope shots, very impressive i must say.

lens on the glass

my sony was awesome...

:cry:

I have filters which some times I uses and some times I don't and I also have a close up lense set which alows me to be anywhere up to 8X closer using my non macro settings. thoes pictures I used the normal macro settings that are in the camera though and no extrenal aid.

Steve

Here's a few macro shots from my camera . . .
