Mine may have more close-up detail, but yours have great color and composition. I haven't found the best settings yet on my Nikon to capture the true colors on my corals. Still working at it! Quote

SuncrestReef Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 For me I love the lens, but have a love/hate relationship with the camera itself. To get better depth of field, I close the aperture way down to f-stop 36, then use a long exposure (1 to 6 seconds depending on lighting). I need to turn off the powerheads to reduce polyp movement during the shots, but it's worth it to get so much of the coral into focus. Quote
Carla Posted November 6, 2018 Author Posted November 6, 2018 These were freehanded @ f6.3. Most of them anyways. I had the tripod down there and then just got carried away..............................lol. 1 Quote

I got it in July from Mindblowing Corals down in Denver. This coral has been around forever!!! Watch alk. swings tho!! I had a nice colony back when I had my 300 and my stupidity killed it 😞 1 Quote

Mesamech Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Carla, I like your use of the black background, great contrasts for the color rich corals. Quote
Carla Posted February 18, 2019 Author Posted February 18, 2019 Thanks, the black background was suggested by the tank builder, and it is definitely cool. Quote
