Super close up macro shots (1 Viewer)

[tektite]

When you have to ask the polyps to smile...Took my extension tubes out for a test drive with my macro lens, got some cool shots! Super tricky photography though - low light, extremely shallow depth of field, needing to keep the lens at absolutely 90 degrees to the tank, the slightest angle began showing distortion. Haven't tried top down shots with the light loss from the tubes, when I do figure out a rig to hold my camera steady shots from the top down will have crazy sharp detail. All these shots were through the side of the aquarium.
