They aren't aquarium related and since I really don't have anything in my tank to take pictures of, I'll post these...

AWESOME!!! please post your equipment and shot settings!!!

i was just thinking about purchasing a macro ring flash for stuff like this!

 

[saltwaternewb]

Both shots:
1/160
f10
ISO 500
Nikon D80
Tamron 90mm SP Di Macro

 

[surfn]

did you shoot in RAW and then crop the image? i don't see how you got so close with a 90mm lens without having him fly away...lol

 

[saltwaternewb]

Not in raw. Jpeg. Cropped then reduced to 800x600. Just call me the fly whisperer.

I have never shot RAW though I need to start. I just don't have the post processing software so I stick to JPEG.

yeah, i know what you mean. smoke starts coming out of my desktop computer whenever i try to open a RAW file...lol. and if i try to zoom in on a RAW picture, my computer will lock up for like an hour...lol

what size JPEG picture did you start out with? any chance you can post the un-cropped version? (just resize the original to 800x600)

just curious.

 

[saltwaternewb]

Here is the uncropped version of the first shot. 2896x1944 is the size right off the camera.

sure ya do, the software i sent you will work great, you just need to download camera raw 3.14 from adobes website...you can even google it, and just follow the instructions from adobe as to where to put the file.

if you run into problems let me know.

OH BTW, the release cable i sent out priority mail (half the price of UPS) earlier this week, you should have it today, if not tomorrow.

 

[JuniorMC8704]

OH, yeah, and AWESOME shot...gotta love that tamron 90.

 

[JuniorMC8704]

here is your pic run through a sharpening action with Photoshop.

 

[saltwaternewb]

Thanks and I'll check in to the RAW converter. I have only used the software you send a little bit so far. I am so lost when it come to post processing it's not even funny.
