A few macro shots with my new lens. Salt and fresh water

Post by Barbie »

Here are a few of the pictures I've taken in the last few days. I'm more than open to critiques as I'm only just now getting a chance to use the camera enough to learn about it.

And a few freshwater that I liked.

Cyprichromis leptosoma "Kitumba" (Tanganyikan midwater swimming mouthbrooding cichlid from Lake Tanganyika:Image

Hypancistrus sp. L260 (Queen Arabesque pleco)

Now if I can just keep taking enough pictures to justify the purchase!

It's a Canon 40D that I'm just learning how to use and the lens is a 100mm F2.8 macro that I splurged and bought for the store last week. I'm glad I did ;). I'd been quite frustrated with trying to get the shots I wanted and this definitely did the job! With the store and all of the tanks at home I don't really have any time for any other hobby. The photography one ties in nicely and gives me pretty pictures for the website at least ;).

And I get the added benefit of being able to take pictures of fish I can't make room for at home at the moment, hehe.

Over the years I've posted lots of pics of my zebras ;). Right now, I'm attempting to leave them alone as I've recombined my group, attempting to break this hiatus ;).
