Thanks bug guy. The only one I doctored (no pun intended) was the coraline algae shot, I saturated it a little more is all.

I don't remember reading it in your thread, if its posted please forgive my oversight, but i was just wondering what camera you are using and what macro lens is that? what f-stop on the lens? info info info specs specs specs
thanks a lot

Adam

P.S. Fantastic macro's, colors just pop!

framerguy · 10-08-2007, 08:56 PM

The camera is a Nikon D70, the lense is a borrowed 60mm 1:2.8 D Nikkor Micro AF. Fstop was set at 9.5 usually and I would bracket exposures at 0,+1, and +2, then choose the best exposure. I used manual focus and a Manfrotto Pro tripod. My 'regular" lense is a Sigma 28-105mm D Aspherical.

The camera is a Nikon D70. The lense is a Nikkor AF 60mm 1:2.8D set at f9.5 and bracketed at 0,+1, +2, then chose the best exposure. Manfrotto pro tripod and manual focus. My "regular" lense is a Sigma 28-105 2.8 AF aspherical. I'm glad you liked the photos!

zimboy · 10-08-2007, 09:02 PM

Ty for the info, just what i needed. Am looking at getting the D80 now that i'm finished spending on the reef (lol yea right) love the look of that macro. Currently have the manfrotto pro and that and velvia produce some wonderful slides

Using and old FG atm with a 50mm flipped around for my macro's. Awesome for bug and plant macros but useless for tank macros. Guess its time to spend money on that hobby.
Again thanks for the info and sorry for the ramble.

You will really like the D80. The friend I borrowed the lense from has it and it totally rocks!! Way more pixals than mine. I've even heard of a camera with 1400 pixals, thats outragious, Mine has 600.

Love the DOF on that lens.... You are keeping it right?

Dentoid · 10-09-2007, 07:35 PM

Ok, if we were any closer we'd be copepods! That is amazing photograhy Greg. Why can't I make my camera do that?

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-09-2007, 08:04 PM
