Yep or aka parasites haha!!! (anyone who has them in an sps tank knows what i am talking about)Animal Mother;113763 said:Anthelia, aka "Waving-hand" coral.
I line up the shot and push the shutter button hahah jk! I wouldnt say my camera is "really great" but by no means is it bad I am shooting with a canon eos rebel XT... its the bottom of the line, top of the line canon (if that makes sense) the lense is a tamron 18mm-250mm...i also have a UV filter and polarizer filter to limit glare from the glass. For pics of the corals i shoot in full manual mode. I play with settings depending on what i am shooting and what effect i want to get...For action shots like the one of the cuttlefish striking or the leopard wrasse swimming around i use the portrait mode with the flash. For some reason it looks better than the sports mode..At least i think so!L8 2 RISE;114555 said:wow! all of your pics are amazing, how do you take them, or do you just have a really great camera?
How much are you looking to spend? Do you think she would like a point and shoot or something that is fully manual? Personally, i would say get a Canon Eos Rebel XT or the Canon Eos Rebel XTi w/ the 18mm-55mm kit lense. Or if you wanna go with a Nikon id say check out the D40, D40x, or the D80.mosthated;114707 said:(off topic but somewhat related)
