Pictures with new lens

I thought so LOL.

I can never get such overall tonal range. Usually my highlights or my shadows are blown out.

Sorry for all the questions but...

Are you shooting in RAW and then correcting the image in Lightroom?

Gorgeous corals!

Fabulous pictures, well done!

Thank you for sharing...keep them coming!

Nope, I'm using highest quality jpeg format. Basically straight from the camera to photobucket, occasionally I'll use Photoshop to correct the color or light and sometimes increase sharpness.

That's awsome. I really think the D70 was one of the best DSLRs built. Even the D70S can't pull off pics like that. And the sweet piece of glass helps.

I would love to pick your brain some day on photo techniques

again brilliant pics

Thanks, I wouldn't mind answering any questions you or other members have about anything including photography, however I'm far from an expert, still learning. I really like my D70 but one day I hope to get a D300 or something along those lines just so I can top some of my Nikon buddies

A couple new ones

I usually have it set around 400 ISO..... graininess really bugs me so I try to keep it low (or um high?). Next time I'll play with it a bit more and see what I get. Great pics!

I started him with live Zebra Danios and Ghost shrimp then got him eating whole krill. Now he eats pretty much anything, I can even use a stick or forceps to individually feed him and the other guys in that tank. The pipefish just eats bugs

Wow, fabulous pics and gorgeous corals! You have a beautiful collection.

I noticed that you mentioned one day maybe picking up a Nikon D300, it's a terrific camera! We have a couple of Nikon D200's that my husband and I use. We opted for two D200 for when we go out shooting....we've enjoyed them very much.

Keep the pics coming....they're amazing!

I've been corrected, I have the D70s, not D70. Thanks Dad
