Some cool macro pics.

I finally got around to scraping my acrylic today and happen to have my macro lens and ring flash attached to the camera. Here are a few pics for your enjoyment.

By the way, minimal editing was done (no colour correction) for those of you wondering.

what camera, and macro ring? what's a macro ring?

 

[texman]

The camera is a Canon EOS D-1, lens is an 80mm macro, and the flash is a ring flash, attached to the lens, to give more even lighting during macro photography.

Sorry, the lens is a 100mm macro lens.

Distance is somewhere between 3 and 6 inches I would say.

Cool pics Texman. How about some pics of your whole setup. You may have posted them before, but I didn't see them. :wink:

I really like the first pic, what is that some morph of blastomussa?

Yes Louey, the first one is a Red/orange/pink/green B. Welsi. I can never get my acros to maintain the colour that I got them with, so I have decided to collect alternate SPS and LPS corals. I especially love closed brains. I have about 100 of them in my tank, and every colour imaginable. They also seem to get brighter with time, as opposed to acros which inevitabley fade to green or brown in my tank.
