Macro Coral Photos!

[little_sardines]

I love taking macro shots of my corals! I mostly have SPS with some softies and LPS mixed into my 120g peninsula reef.

Photos taken with a Nikon D7100 (a couple with a D700) and either a 105mm macro, 40mm macro, or a 50mm.

Really nice shots, and beautiful corals! I shoot a lot of macro shots with my Nikon D610 and 200mm macro. One thing I’d recommend to you is to crank down the aperture to get more depth of field. I shoot some corals at f/29 so the whole thing is in focus:

@SuncrestReef I played with my aperture settings a bit and it does make a big difference keeping the whole frame in focus!
