GREAT pics! your fish are beauties!

Isabella

LOL, I think my new hobby besides fish and planted tanks, will be photography! Though I am already impatient to get the super zoom lens (only they're so expensive if they're from Nikon ). Imagine with the super zoom lens you can take even better photos (i.e. more zoom at high resolution - that must be so cool).

capekate

Yep... I agree the zoom lens would produce even more fantastic close ups! Photography is a great hobby.. and with our fish as subjects... why not? lol...

OMG!! You are making me so jealous...Santa has got to bring me a new camera.
Awesome shots!!

Isabella

Allie, the camera itself is not that expensive compared to a good lens. The lens I have is probably the worst Nikon lens. Yet, their worst lens take great pictures, so imagine the quality of shots taken with their best lens! I am beginning to learn that it's the lenses that are so expensive in this hobby. You can buy one camera and change various lenses with it, according to the need of your shots (ex. close-ups or landscapes). But what I think makes Nikon cameras better than many others is their superb metering system, or Martix coloring system, or something like that, that I have read somewhere. (LOL, you'd have to ask some expert.)

My camera has the feature where I can put another scope/lense on the end to get even closer...but my camera is discontinued. I wonder if I can still find the part somewhere.

Isabella

That's so cool. You must be able to take beautiful close-up shots. Any advice / tips on close-up photography for a beginner like me? I used mostly auto settings in the above shots as I do not yet know how to fully utilize the camera and manual work. Any specific ISO, shutterspeed, etc ... for close-up shots? Thanks

Hmm, maybe try on Amazon.com - if they won't have new ones, check for used ones. Or maybe check E-bay?

Tom

Great pics. Can you send that camera to me and order another for yourself please? lol
Tom

Isabella

Sure Tom. Just give me a few minutes to pack the camera, lol

Tom

Do you want me to send my address so it will get to me? lol I am being serious. lol
Tom

Isabella

Sure. I'll choose overnight shipping so that you'll have it by your door tomorrow morning

Tom

But myself and my parents aren't going to be home tomorrow morning after my football game. lol
Tom

Isabella

OK, I'll make a note for the shipper to wait until after your football game. By the way, good luck with the game. Hope your team wins

Tom

Thanks. I don't think they even stand a chance against us.

Oh, I'm sure they have no chances! With you guys being 6 feet tall, and all that. (I've read in one of the other posts how tall people are, and if I remember corretly, you and Atm are over 6 feet!)
