Brian Crook Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Hey halfpint. Your pictures look awesome. I'm really impressed with those snake pictures you took with the 18-55mm lens. Sorry if you already mentioned it, but which Canon DSLR camera do you use? Thanks! Link to comment
halfpint Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks, Brian. The kit lens (which is an IS lens) is awesome. The body is the Canon 450D (A.K.A. Rebel XSi). I love it. I can't wait to get the Canon 100mm Macro and a speedlite. Link to comment
Brian Crook Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 As you may be aware I just recently got a new digital camera, but the Canon 450D kit has become available to me at a really good price through my work so I am considering exchanging my camera for it. It's nice to see some really nice closer shots with that lens such as the snake ones I mentioned. Do you have any reef shots taken with the 18-55 mm lens or the new 50 mm f1.8 lens that you purchased? The Canon 100mm macro lens is so expensive, but some of the pictures I've seen from it look fantastic! Link to comment
halfpint Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 I would recommend the 450D. Like I said, I love it. I'll try to find some reef shots. I know I have some with the kit lens, but not sure if I've taken any with the 50 prime. Since I got that lens, I've used it mounted, and the kit lens reversed to get extreme macros. The #1 photo is with that setup. It's 100% un-cropped. That's a nickel. All photos in post #12 were taken with my older Pentax DSLR. Here's an unedited shot with the 50mm. It's a pretty clear lens, and really fast, being a 1.8. I'll see if I can find some reef shots with the 50 and post them. Link to comment
Brian Crook Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 You can reverse the kit lens!? ^ That picture rocks! I have until thursday to decide if I'm going to exchange my camera and get a DSLR (probably the D450). Any pics of your reef with the kit lens would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot for the information so far man, and your pictures really do look fantastic. Link to comment
halfpint Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 #30 #31 #32 My current setup. Next up to buy is the Canon 100mm 2.8L IS USM. EDIT: NO, I do not still have little Christmas trees out on my bathroom counter. I took this back in December, when I bought my lens and flash. Link to comment
Withers Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I want that flash, I really like #32! Link to comment
halfpint Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks. That flash is amazing. I've been shooting so long without a flash (never had an external, and built-ins suck) that I have to learn use it. Bouncing light with it is fun, but can be challenging. Link to comment

Zer0 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 What camera were you using when you took pictures of those ricordea and that clown goby? Also.. what lens? Thanks. Link to comment
halfpint Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 YCG was taken with a Pentax *ist DL, 18-55mm 4.5-5.6. Ricordea was taken with Canon 450D, can't remember which lens. Probably the stock 18-55 IS lens. Link to comment
halfpint Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 New addition to the family: Canon 100mm f/2.8 EF USM. It's like a dream come true! I've been wanting it for years! Link to comment
