New SLR, New Pictures

[Atomikk]

Hi guys,

I recently acquired a Nikon D70s (used) for 400$.. and its probably the best 400$ I have spent. It included 2 batteries, a lens, cables, etc, etc...

Anyhoo..the pictures of some of my corals... (Some I took under 20K light, and some under 10K)

WOW, VERY NICE!!! I can't wait for my decadia to get to that size.

[Atomikk]

Decadia is a slower grower. If you leave it alone, it may take you up to a year to be that big.

At the size mine is I think it'll take quite a bit longer than that.

What's the last sps? I love that, It has such an unusual color.

What is the new camera and what settings are you using?

The temporary ID is Acropora convexa.. but that I would have to confirm. The radial corallites are very small, so its more unique than other types of corallites.

The camera is a Nikon D70s, using Macro, ISO 500, Auto Focus (for now). Its quite easy to use, and there is a lot to play with.

[TheRealBigAL]

Wow great looking pictures. Got any full tank shots ?

Tom, if you download the photos onto your computer most photo editing programs will extract all the information about which settings a photo was taken with for you. For example, the bottom picture of the red acro is called "redconvexa.jpg". It was taken without a flash and with a 1/60 shutter speed at an aperture of f4.5 and a focal length of 70mm. A 1000 ISO was used.

I didn't know that you could get that much info, didn't even know you could get any.
Thanks Franklin. If I dnld that into photoshop, where or how would I get that info?
Thanks

You got a lot for 400$ Good pics

[Snappy]

Hey Vlad, lookin' good.

I have come to realize this. A lot of people are saying that even as an older camera, its value is still retained. Its fun playing around with the settings, and trying new focal points on corals.


I will have more pictures I am sure...

[Atomikk]

Hey Vlad, lookin' good.

Thanks Greg. Its finally coming together. And now its more fun taking pictures. Just got to clean the front pane for a good FTS.

[BlueAbyss]

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing! I love the color of the red and green Cyphastrea (under 20K obviously, it glows by the look of it), may I ask what that one is called?

The name they have given it (the die hard reefers) is Meteor Shower. But the latin name is Cyphastrea ocellina.

Here is some fish shots...
