How to make zoo brown nicer :p

[kactusficus]

wow jwedehase, this #1 and #3 are absolutely amazing! Dream zoos!
Blazer, lovely as usual!

This is my batch... Unfortunately in France it his very very tough to get nice colored zoos... but I received my order from coralfanatics two weeks ago, so I have some nice ones at last! Will do images as soon as they are fully installed... for the moment here are my first ones.

Hey jwedehase, what camera, lense, and settings are you using, those are some really nice pics. I just got a Nikon d80 with 2 lenses 1) the sigma 17-70mm and 2) tamron 70-300mm but I can never get shot like that, any tips???

Thanks

My favorite thing about zoas is how they glow under blue moonlights :) took me a while to figure out how to capture this with a camera, and I still don't have it quite right with my cheap camera.

I use a Canon 20D and those shots were taken with Canon's infamous 100mm macro. Your D80 is a NICE camera, you're just lacking the macro lens. A macro lens will allow you to really get in tight with your subject, something your current lenses can't do.

It is funny how big they seem in these pics, and then you realize that each of these pictures probably covers about a $Quarter$ sized area. :D

Nice pics!

Hello Steve,

You should try some of these settings:
- raise the speed, to freeze movement (1/200e is good)
- close the aperture (larger number) to make a better DOF (try f13, you'll have a bigger zone for the crisp details)
- adjust your white balance and make a little "curve" or "levels" or "light/saturation" adjustment in a photo editor, to take off the "grey veil" on your image,if you see what I mean.

that should work very fine!

[golfschosen1]

Thanks Kactusficus I appreciate it I will definiatly try those things and show you what I come up with anymore assistance is welcome thanks again

Steve

[kmmcgra]

nice pictures

[kelled2]

very nice pictures. What technique is being used to get such great shots through the glass? I have a nikon D80 how much will a macro lens help?
