In the end of the day it all comes down to a budget and a target. How much one wants for their money and how much they can really get. I personally got the 600D, because it can make farely good video, better than most camcoders can. When it comes to pictures I wish it was a FF, because the crop...

This is the thing. I am not a pro photographer. I am an amator. And as such I do not wish to be bothered with processing. I do not aim for just useable images that will need to be pampered later. Of course there will be probably useable images at "250000 or 1000000 ISO" and so on and so forward...

Well then my 600D must be faulty or a crap copy. I can never get pics at ISO1600 without noise. And a lot of it. This is how I chose to buy the 600D in the first place, by looking at this very same images. In reality however the studio tricks do not work with most folks. Also these "similar"...

If you make small pictures noise cleaning maybe ok. But for large prints is useless. And for small pictures for the internet I have an old Sony 5.1M that works great. Iphone is even better. My 600D even have sensor missalignment. I can never get the correct geometry out of my tank when the...

I have 600D and when it comes to aquarium photography is useless. Small sensor, a lot of noise on high ISO. Look for something with a full frame sensor, even second hand.

Fast prime lens make sense only if you will be taking a lot of aquatic pictures or in dark hours where light is always at the short end. For taking pictures out side it does not matter. For macro prime lenses are way better than zooms, especially dedicated macro lens. You can use a dedicated...

No. They are not pure. My shrimps are mixed bag of all races, but I like it this way. There is more variety of colour patterns. I get everything from A to SSS class, K14, Snow White, some CBS as well.

Some of my best so far.

You could collect as many Ramshorns as you can and put them in a bucket with some water and something to eat. Then release the Helena in the tank. The Ramshorns can stay for weeks in the backet and in the meanwhile the Helena would have sorted everything in the tank.

Anatome Helena predator snail will sort them out if they trouble you much.

I would love to, but there is no second camera around to take the picture. Now what I do is this. I set up the lenses on maximum possible magnification and attach them to the camera with reverse macro adapter. Then to achieve good focus I move the camera backward and forward while holding by...

Cheers guys. I'm actually trying all sorts of ways to get better macro. The best way so far was by using wide angle prime lenses with a reverse macro adapter. The wider angle the lens the more magnification. The trouble is that not all are good for this experiments. The camera is Canon EOS 600D...

And of course my Christmass CRS cake, Yum, yum.

Look at this beast and its mighty pincers.:what: These are some creatures that are crawling around my CRS tanks. The largest are about 3mm across.

Even more detail.

I don't know which old Nikon lenses do you have exsactly, but when it comes to video, the old Nikon macro lenses are not as good as the 50mm type or many of the short telephoto ones. I use for video 50/2, 50/1.4 and 135/2.8. All of these are pre AI and single coated and there aren't many that...

AIs lenses should work on Nikon D7000. I use only old Nikon lenses for just about any photo or/and video, pre AI and AI. For video I found the old ones to be just the best of the best if you can get along with the MF.

The camera is Canon EOS 600D. The lens is Nikon Micro-Nikkor-P.C Auto 55/3.5 made 40 years ago, with some additional macro rings. I also used two flash units Nissin 622i. I'm going to be making some more experiments to get better reolusion and detail. All of these pictures were made by hand, no...

Hi guys. I am having a lot of fun taking close shots of my shrimps. Hope you like it to. This is just a single grain of Amazonia powder. mg][http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee452/Nexusriba/IMG_5064.jpg/img] ]

I have Canon 600D body and use currently with it Micro Nikkor PC Auto 1;3.5 f=55mm. It is a macro lens made in 1972. You can buy some of those for about £100 give or take. Of course Nikkor lens will need adapter to get fitted on the canon bayonet. There are some sample pics that I have made...

We just had a nice morning salad with olive branches with Antipofish. :D

Personally I doubt I would be disappointed at all. Mike is a professional photographer and I have every confidence that a full size image from him would be every bit as good. You have stuff around your water surface causing light blockage ? Move it ! Like I said. Obstacles Obstacles...

100W on what size aquarium? Also by my standards this aquarium is almost empty. There is nothing around the water surface to reduce the light level. Any picture in small size can look good espesially with post processing. What happens if the guy publish here let say 18M size in full since he is...

Well then. Mark says it comes next to nothing. :? So which way is going to be?

Oh no my friend. You see. The guys with the photographic experience have told me how I could use some cheapies and make decent images. But I have been doing this for many years. I am 43 by the way. All I want is someone to show me how to make images equal in quality to the pictures in ADA...

You sure know it all as it seems. But all you suggested is limited by the amount of light and the fact that there is fish that also have to get good looking on the picture.

Let me make it more clear. I am not talking about making just some nice looking picture. Of course 400 Watts of light would be enough to show at least the tank view from global aspect. What I am saying is that that amount of light is not enough to capture focused still image from the fish and...

Well not everyone have Geismann tank light with two MH 150W or so units in it. Those are quite helpful when taking nice pictures. I assume the one you are showing you have made with a small pocket size camera or perhaps one from a mobile phone with some cheap China made luminary with just enough...

Well I see that Amano also uses few big studio flash lights with sinchronizers as well, next to the old school photo cameras. Can you help me to get some of those flashes for next to nothing?

The difference between him and us is first cultural considering the Japanese traditions in flowers and plants placement. The other difference is that the guy have made hundreds of aquariums in his life time and had the choice to show his best. Skill or no skill I can promice you not all of his...

Interesting topic indeed. I agree with Garuf from one end to the other as I am also an artist and as such I value true art, not computer or camera generated. There is one more aspect that I have not seen anyone to mention. When aquarium is empty (no water) the full optical depth is present...
