I am a semi-pro photographer (meaning I get paid to do gigs but I don't have photography as my full-time job)

Since we've ventured on the topic of high-end Canon DSLRs, might as well get the DSIII for $7 bills. Just kidding, Even I am still working my way on getting the MarkIII. My 2 40D bodies will work for me for now.

The camera does not make the photgrapher. The photographer makes the camera.

Hit the nail right on the head.

I have a Olympus E-510 with the 14-54mm f2.8-3.5 lens (50mm f2 macro coming soon). I think my pics are pretty good, i'm not a pro or anything but I love taking photos. I'm still an amateur but here are a couple of shots I took yesterday.

These are all shot with a 40D, 50mm macro overhead flash and a tripod holding the flash.......























And here is the setup....

Amazing Photographs you all have. I, unfortunately have yet to quite figure out how to get fantastic under water pics. but my cam is somewhat old and the resolution is not nearly as big as new cameras are.



But here is my contribution:


Canon A40

It was very hard to get a decent pic as this shrimp is sitting on a leaf, under the filter. It's a bamboo shrimp.

I've designed a great Nikon with the absolute best lens for capturing up-close and beautiful shots of your shrimp.
I'll upload my most recent picture once I get the print out of the red room.
The focus is explicitly good, and the shutter speed slow for capturing amazing stills of shrimp feeding, mating, walking, floating, swimming, standing still, and all the other great things they do.
I'm excited to show you what this lens can do.
As for the act of photographing I'd say set up a camera that you can let run on time-lapse with a slow strobe light in the corner of the room, and watch as the shrimp explore their aqaurium in an almost cosmic universe.
I highly recomend a slow strobe because I have found that a high speed has induced cannibalism.

Very nice photos. I'm still waiting for my new tripod/ballhead and extend tube.

But this is my first try. handhold
I will definitely try your setup.
