SuncrestReef Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 It's been a long time since I've shot any macro photos, so now that my tank is back online and I have brand new frags from Holly, I was excited to dust off my camera. The following are full-frame shots, then a crop view of each at 100%: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shar_Zard Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) @SuncrestReef What camera do you shoot with? I just got a Sony RX100 VII wondering what the most important settings are for tuning and should I get an orange filter? Happy your tanks getting back on track, I took a lotta inspo from your build. Gonna be doing a mini upgrade to a 75G in a few weeks. @Dakotapi3rc3 gonna be helping me with the move Edited June 10, 2021 by Shar_Zard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be doing a mini upgrade to a 75G in a few weeks. @Dakotapi3rc3 gonna be helping me with the move I use a Nikon D610 camera with a 200mm Nikon f/4 macro lens, along with a custom-ordered Avast Marine porthole tube. It's a beast to handle, but it works well for me. I don't do any editing. All my shots are straight from the camera which I set to 10K white balance rather than using an orange filter. For depth of field I usually crank the aperture down to f/24 and use a longer exposure, and use a tripod plus remote shutter release to avoid vibration. You can find a lot more macro shots from my tank before the crash here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totroc3 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Very nice setup and photos. They are awesome! I always thought that I deeply appreciated the beauty of my corals but obviously that beauty is much more intense up close. I love this site and the creative people on it because it really helps me open my eyes to new possibilities that I don’t even consider on my own. Thank you SuncrestReef for inspiring me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar_Zard Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 @SuncrestReef That's a sweet setup! I'm totally gonna DIY myself a porthole adapter. I should be getting my camera in the mail today, gonna give it a spin later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
