Taking pics - what do you guys use?

Canon Rebel XT DSLR with a 55 mm macro lens....That Guy uses a similar type of camera but his pictures put mine to shame. I need to practice

 

i also use the rebel xt you should borrow the 100mm macro lense sometime... It is fun

 

I agree...I should

 

Those were awesome pics Amcarrig, you should post more!

 

Its the lens not the photographer hahah!

 

Thanks Linda. You should be careful what you wish for. I've got a ton of photos

And it's true...the lens really does make me look like a better photographer than I am

 

ahhh photography....my first love lol...

IMO the lens can make the photographer....especially if the lens is IS. They work great for low lighting conditions. I shoot a Canon 30D with stock lens.....(yes i know its crap).

White balance can help a lot with your colour problems for you slr users! Not sure if you guys ever use a thing called the whibal. It is great simple tool to bring out the natural colours (if you use photoshop).

One tip i have is if you have a slr and a remote flash put it at the top of the tank where the water is that way you don't get the bounce off of the glass.

 

I borrowed a co-workers Rebel XTi he has 100mm Marco, 50mm 1.2, 16 -20mm
I have 7 cameras of my own but they are either film or crappy point and shoots.

 

Nice. What's in that first pic J?

 

It's my little frog fish. He is starting to change his colour to look more like his surroundings. It's very cool. He is gray but he now has little blobs of purple and pink to match the coraline

BTW, I hardly think you need more practice your Pics are amazing. Yes we need more
