Default RCS pictures

I am slowly learning about the new DSLR camera that I got. These pictures are much better than the other RCS pictures from the other thread. These DSLR cameras are very intricate and the minuscule settings make a big difference.

Hey everyone. I have always wanted be able to take aquarium photographs, particularly macro photographs. Well I managed to get an incredible camera which has allowed me to take some cool macro shots with the use of a macro converter (turns a normal lens into a magnifier lens). I do not have a "real" macro lens, the one I want is expensive so I am saving up money.

I can make very big prints of these pictures (poster size max), each of which I have extremely high res files of. If you are interested in a print for your office, home, etc. just shoot me a PM for the size and cost. I am not doing this to make a profit, I only want to earn a little bit of money to put toward the macro lens I want which costs $1200.00 (yes it is a lot, the 180mm Canon Macro Lens). Let me assure you though, when I get that lens there will be some incredible photos.

Disclaimer: Photoshop was only used to tweak the brightness. My aquarium is extremely bright so I have to lower the brightness. All of the colors, and everything else is straight from the actual picture. I do not believe in "enhancing" photographs in order to make them look more appealing. I consider that cheating.

Enjoy. More pics to come. Let me know what you think, and any other suggestions you may have.

Great shots of your cherry shrimp, especially since aren't using a "macro" lens.

I would love to see more pictures of your Rotalas. It looks like it has a good deep red coloration.

Took some more pictures. I left out the signature because I didn't like how it looked. Enjoy.

Awesome pictures, Wood. How's your cycloptic Atyopsis Moluccensis doing?

Ryan, very nice picture using your macro lenses. Is that a Rotala wallichi plant that you have in your picture or some other Rotala species?
