some macro shots

[scarf_ace1981]

nice shots. i wonder if you can get a closer macro of those polyps, maybe a little closer than that last pic on the right.

thanks. i used 150mm macro with a 2x converter. i think if i put a 500d i can get closer.

The top right one is amazing.

Nice shots Twin. I knew you have some in your vault. Thanks for sharing with us.

How close are they to the front of the glass? Not sure if the 500d will get you closer. I know with my 250d i have to be darn close since the focus range is minimized. Maybe since you have a longer MM lens than me it might work. Do you own the 500d? Would love to see the result.

Please keep them coming. We need this forum to rock!

If only they were this big it would be so easy to target feed, LMAO.

Josh - thanks

pedro thanks. i need to start shooting again.
i dont have the 500d. the coral was about 12 inches from the glass. i might buy the 250d or the 500d and some ext. tubes. would love get closer.

steve i use a photoshop to resize. i bought a action tool to resize for me. it does the resize in small increments.

Talk about DOF!

Nice one, looks like it's waiting to be fed! Now if only you can take it while it's feeding on say cyclops, just a thought! :scratchch
