GA Eye CanDy :-)

Some of those pictures are just unreal! Nicely done.

Jhale, how did the 90MM lens feel? Would you have gone up or down with the focal length?

I wanted the 105 nikon macro, I went to buy it this summer and instead got a 150 macro from sigma. I think I'd prefer the 105 macro after all :sigh:
The 150 is a bit too far for shooting tanks.

truly amazing - id like to visit one day - but only open four days a week?!

Other then sat and sunday what day matters, thursday and friday are a bonus. Besides going to see the best livestock in the most beautiful store is worth the trip and doesn't everybody work during the week?
WORTH THE TRIP

All I can say is wow

So jhale you prefer the tamron 105 over the sigma 150?
I assume you used the sigma 150 .
I would feel confident making a purchase based on your advise after viewing these brilliant pictures

it's a tamron 90mm,not 105, the 105 is nikons macro.

I've used the sigma 150 for a while and can't say I'm in love with the lens.
It's got some color balance issues that I've not been able to work out.
I get a blue tinge to the images that is exaggerated in low light situations.
It's bad enough that it makes me switch back to the tamron. Unfortunately it's too late for me to return the sigma, otherwise I would have exchanged it for the nikon 105, which I liked a lot. If your shooting with nikon, that 105 is the macro I'd recommend, it's expensive but you can clearly see the difference in image quality. For now I'll have to stick with the tamron.

OMG this was the longest I had not been to GA. I went up today with Randy and Dom. Poor Dom got nailed at the I95 tollbooth for not having an ezpass and then an extremely out of date inspection sticker. It made his trip a bit more expensive

on to the shots!

hi!

this is the first rose bubble jason said he's seen in a year

 

[jhale]

all these shots were taken in the little elos cube tank by the door. these shots are taken with sunlight! the tank gets blasted by the sun in the afternoon. it's very rare to be able to shoot a reef tank at 100 ISO. I love the way the corals are glowing from the inside, some of the shots I took with the corals backlit. I wish I had more opportunities to shoot with this kind of light :inlove:

 

[jhale]

even aiptasia looks good in the sun :splitspin

 

[Domboski]

The RBTA looks awesome Jon!

 

[jhale]

I liked the white specs on that rbta.
it made me want to set up my cube

 

[crox99]

Gorgeous color on that RBTA.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Do you have any FTS of the mini?
