amtiskaw Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Great pics For those of you looking for settings, just right-click and save an image. Then you can right click the saved image and see the settings under the details tab. It helps having a nice bit of kit like an EOS 5D when the ISO is cranked up to 1600 !drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexyay Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 What's your lighting situation (if you're happy to give out that info)? Any external flashes or studio lights? My camera doesn't handle such high ISOs quite so well - but even on 6400 I couldn't go above 1/100". But then again I'm on f11, are you using a telephoto rather than a macro? I don't know how I'd get so close on a macro without DOF issues on a f3.5 :nilly: Tripod or monopod? (I'm just going to steal all your photography techniques, if that's OK :thup:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boban_nz Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I have a standard three foot fish tank with 2 x18 w daylight plus 2 x 55 w compact 10000 K light. The lens I am using is a Canon EF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro. If I want to take a photo of the whole fish tank I will use a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM or Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM L. F-11 is for landscape photography not for photographing a fish tank with insufficient light. I am always holding my camera in free hand, minimum working distance is 150 mm but I shoot from about 300 - 500 mm. That is the beauty of using a true macro lens.

The reason why I use f11 is that there are DoF issues - I can't seem to get everything on the fish in focus - although tonight I used my external flash going into the tank which really helped to add to the lighting, meaning I could stick to low ISOs. I wouldn't usually go under f8 for macro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
