Re: August Coral of the Month: Blastomussa

My biggest problem is getting close up pictures to focus. My camara(Sony DSC-F828 has a macro function but close-ups still seems difficult. They sell a optional lense for close-ups but I havent bought it. I will have to work on the exposure & darkness. Thanks for the advise. It is more camara than I need but I bought it for the race track & was told it was about the best for all around still pictures & video.

Re: August Coral of the Month: Blastomussa

The macro function I use for the aquarium photograph very seldom. Only the object is right under my nose. I use almost telephoto lenses with the focal length 80-105mm, F1,7 - F2,5 sometimes F4 and automatic timer and of course a tripod. All my pictures are easily overexposed as before already described.


Im so sorry, is OT

Re: August Coral of the Month: Blastomussa

Wow! a lot of beautiful blastos. They are one of my favorites. Although I do not have a great camera, here are some shots of my blastos:
