Hello,
I’ve recently been gifted a Canon 7D as a hand me down (very nice family member), and I have a zoom lens that came with it which I understand isn’t applicable to our application and a Canon 50mm lens I purchased because I was told it would be a good affordable lens for coral photography. Unfortunately, I’ve seen people suggest the Canon 100mm macro lens is best and I will aim to pick one up once I get the basics down considering it’s $750+ right now. I’ve also ordered the Camera Tube Pro for future top down shots when the colonies grow out.
I’ve read the ‘Your Guide to Aquarium Photography’ sticky threads by @maroun.c which were immensely helpful (thank you!). I was hoping some of you more experienced in aquarium photography could give me some tips, as well as let me know if the 50mm lens will suffice and why or why not?
Here are some of my experimental photos done while trying to keep a steady hand (I have a tripod on the way). Any feedback or tips are much appreciated! Thanks!
