Definitly a great thread.

As weak as it may be, here is my best.

Unbelievable! I am almost afraid to post this pic. I have a Cannon G5. Are you guys using add on lenes?

1wireefer · #36 03/06/2004, 11:00 PM

TippyToex,

Are you using an add on lens? How did you set your white balance? I have tried but I just can't seem to get the color just right. I am using the cannon G5 as well.

TippyToeX · #37 03/07/2004, 12:36 AM

1wireefer- For the tort picture I use the cheap little 58mm add on lens. My MH bulbs are 10k and have found that having the white balance set on daylight does the trick 90% of the time. That is what I used for the all of the pics I posted

Yet I have recently tried the custom setting (not difficult to do) and am more pleased with it's results when trying macro pictures.

Here's a pic of my Porites, since I can't even justify posting any Acro pics here

. Nice stuff, fellas!

No special lense, just the camera. However, I have been shooting the pic on highest resolution and quality setting and then cropping out the parts that are best in focus. Here are a few that aren't cropped.

crab0000 · #44 03/07/2004, 08:04 PM

Wow, very impressive. I guess I just need to play with my 995 more. Thanks.

crab0000 · #45 03/07/2004, 08:32 PM

This one is okay, but not as good as the others.

Steve

saltyseaman · #46 03/07/2004, 09:29 PM

That's a good pic Crab

, maybe turn off the pumps so that the polyps aren't whipping around. That should help produce a more clear pic.

JB NY · #47 03/07/2004, 09:40 PM

More pics.

Thanks for the tip. Just out of curiosity, how do you have your focus set?
Thanks again,
Steve

On Automatic

Whenever I see those great macro shots, it almost always seems that it was taken with a nikon coolpix. If I remember right they have a focus length of around 1.6".
