Thanks, Kray. I didn't think I was that good.

Very nice, I like the b&w for these.

[halfpint]

 

Thanks. I like the B&W, as well.

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!

[halfpint]

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.

[Brian Crook]

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!

[halfpint]

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.

 

 

[Brian Crook]

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.

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.

[Withers]

I want that flash, I really like #32!

[halfpint]

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.

She probably shouldn't wear a hat at the beach so much.

[Zer0]

What camera were you using when you took pictures of those ricordea and that clown goby? Also.. what lens?

 

Thanks.

[halfpint]

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.

[halfpint]

 

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!

[Kazooie]

Nice collection!

[halfpint]

Thanks! I'm trying to get better, only with time.

is that really as big as my 150-500?

 

it looks it.

[halfpint]

Just measured it. Nearly 9" long, and 77mm filter. Nearly 3.5" in diameter at its widest point.
