![]() I will be borrowing a Canon D30 this Friday afternoon with the intention of shooting my corals. I want to make sure I take the best pictures I can the first time as I only have the camera for the one afternoon. Please any tips or techniques appreciated.
I know SLR cameras, how to set ISO, aperture, shutter speed etc and I have a Canon PowerShot that I'm sure I have taken the best possible pictures with. The 17-85mm lens is not a true macro but it does have a macro setting. I think it is this one: http://www.bobatkins.com/photography...85_review.html I will also have a nice tripod and automatic shutter release. I want to take the best pics of my corals, mostly zoas, rics, shrooms etc. as possible. Thanks Keith. Last edited by Snaz; 02-28-2009 at 06:42 AM. |

![]() have the flash off and use a high enough iso/apt that your shudder speed will be high enough that it will be clear with no movement or noise also turning off all pumps will help alot too

![]() Well considering I had two hours and most of the first was figuring out this new camera I got a couple of shots worth posting.
Dendrophyllia - Too bad the large top polyp was closed all morning, still this one looks fine. ![]() Blue Zoa's - Pumped up a bit with Photoshop to bring out the blue. ![]() Pink and Red Zoa - I got this from a Reef Network regular at the last dinner. Thanks Callum! ![]() Shroom and Random Polyp - I like this one. ![]() Sexy! ![]() |

![]() Thanks. I think the lens I had was what held me up for an hour, I kept trying to use the macro setting to no avail. The magic bullet was certainly the automatic aperature setting.
I only wish I had used a slightly higher ISO and the Dendro would have been crisper. Here is another with the saturation increased with Photoshop. I am glad I shot RAW files, it makes post processing magic! ![]() |
