Hmm.... I write little tank and I suddenly feel like Lt. Gruber from Allo Allo.

Anyway... just wanted to share a few pics.

For the technically inclined, Nikon D300 on iso 1600, Tokina 100mm f2.8. An sb-600 on a cable sometimes. Always a tripod.

nice shots

where do you place your SB? from the top on a stand?

I tried to take few shots last night but hand held and I should have stepped down the lens a bit.

Is your Tokina a Macro lens?

wijnands · Jul 20, 2012

No, got one of the kids to hold it up.

Yes, it's a macro lens

but you do light it from the top, right?

trying to find the best way to light them

wijnands · Jul 20, 2012

Yeah, pretty much, unless they're way down. I'm now also more and more shooting available light. With fish like the clareo you just have to

smyke · Jul 20, 2012

Right, when they are pretty stationary its the best way to do it.

F/11 at 1/10 wouldnt work with Danios. LOL
