Is this a mummy eye chalice. everthing looks really nice

 

[kigs]

Thank you everyone.

Dace - yeap, it's the original Mummy Eye from EF.

I've been trying to figure out how to get more objects in view more focused. Any suggestions?

 

[Sumbub]

Are you doing manual focusing or auto focusing?

 

[CHEMCHEF]

Nice pics. XS or XT?

 

[muntai]

u need a macro lens for focus close up shots.

 

[Josh]

Very nice photos and great acans/chalices.

 

[kigs]

Sumbub: manual.

Chemchef: neither, I'm using 300D.

muntai: Not close up shots, I meant allowing a greater depth of field but I think I figured it out. AV was only set at 9, I'm going to try raising it to 11-13.

More pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:splitspin

 

[wrasseman]

i think you have to many acans in your tank i will ,for no fee take them off your hands so your tank will look better . really looks great dude

 

[kigs]

Josh: thanks

wrasseman: lol! tempting... haha.

crox99: here are few more acan shots + fish I currently own. Fish shots were a bit easier in flash mode, but I think I could've done better. I'm thinking of getting an external flash and also using a remote to take the shots.

Here's a Garden Eel series I did. I was very happy to see him out today because I haven't seen him in weeks!

Everything's looking good, colors are nice and well balanced as well. An awesome trick if your not already using it. Besides using a tripod, place the camera on a timer so that when you press the shutter button the initial movement does effect things. I have read that many lenses have a sweet spot i.e. an ideal aperture for sharpest focus with that said there might be a limitation on depth of field in sharp focus.

Shots like these make me what to go out and pickup a new canon

Beautiful pics and really nice fish and coral you have there.

 

[sideline18]

nice

 

[kigs]

lenny & sideline: thank you

MikeNYC: great idea! I actually have a remote lying around so I'm going to play around with that tomorrow to see if it helps.

Ok, raised it to F13 and took these shots w/ a remote. What a difference! LMK what you guys think.
