Tropheus pics with new cam and lens

[Verse914]

I picked up a Nikon D2x and Sigma 105mm macro today and thought I would share some pics. Im still trying to get used to it as Ive only had it for a few hours.

I also got to watch my bembas breed today too I didnt get any pics though
Tropheus sp. Black Bemba

Tropheus moorii Murago

absolutly amazing.. can you tell us a little about your T. set up?

Great looking pics. What are you doing for lighting your shots? (flash, tank lighting, external light...)

awesome pictures... do you use the manual focus? or just let the camera do it... ive always had trouble with the manual as things turn out to look more blury in the picture than they did in the frame before teh shot...

any info on how you took those pics would be apretiated :dive2:

The tank is a 75gallon with Tropheus moorii Murago and T. sp. black Bemba. Its filtered with a Fluval 404 (new), Magnum 320 (new), Emperor 400, and 2 Aquaclear 70s.

Im using two SB-800s...one on the cam, and one wireless over the tank.

Yes, I use manual focus. It takes some practice, but eventually you get it figured out These were shot in RAW, ISO 100, and the shutter speed at 1/160 at F/5

I have them labeled in the original post (the top 3 are T. sp. Black Bemba and the last is T. moorii Murago).
