Lets see those macros!
 

I finally figured out the macro zoom on my camera so I thought I'd share. The last two are tricky, see if you can guess the coral.

Nice shots..
Whats with the distortion. They almost look fake or a drawing. Cool... :biggrin:
What setting are you on?
Great colors

The distortion in the last one is just me trying to zoom in too far. Haven't quite mastered the setting yet, but I found that by using a tripod with the lense as close as possible to the tank, I can use the 10x digital zoom on my camera. It appears fuzzy on the view screen but after the pics is taken the camera magically clears it up, within reason.

The last two: I'm guessing ricordia and alveopora?

I'd say the last 2.. well the first is a brain ... hehe how do I know? :lol:

nice shots danny, i'll take some macros tonight as well...

In case I missed it, what type of camera? Mine does not seem to do well with auto focasing (sp?)(No manual focas). I want to try and find a used Canon A70 (hint hint anyone?). My brother has one and it seems to work great!

Hey Walter, its a Pentax Optio MX4. I have a 512MB card in it so I can take up to 2 hours of mpeg 4 video. Check it out here.

jeez, was I right or what danny? :razz:

I have a pentax as well, a pentax optio something or other ... I am sure it's a great little camera, but I don't know how to adjust all those settings, too many to be bothered with.. although, the pictures would be worth it. (my macros come in a little distorted as well danny) but i am by NO means a photographer, and i use no tripod.. go me.

Wow, nice camera! Seems like a good price too....

The first of the bottom two is part of an open brain. The last one is a bit fuzzy but it is my toadstool leather.
