I am going to order the Canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens soon and just keep practicing my photography and post processing. I don't do a crazy amount of post processing but it definitely helps when changing things like the white balance and adjusting exposures like highlights and shadows. I will always turn my lights to 100% also so I don't have to have my ISO very high. Most of the pictures are at 500 ISO 5.0 aperture, and 1/80 shutter speed. I could even go as low as 1/5 shutter speed. But I would have to turn off the flow in the tank. But for fish photos I don't use a tripod and a high shutter burst. Mine does about 10 in a second which is awesome for those pics Quote Link to comment
