I was cleaning the glass and decided to take pics

What kind of lens? I use Nikon (D90) too!

 

umm...let me see.

macro 60mm

 

^^ sigh... macro lens...
Its a Nikon lens right? sigh again..

 

yeah...lol

I use to work for a pharma company with my uncle. They were doing some type of lab work and had a lot of these camers with specific settings they were glued to those settings. THey had them set up on macro settings i guess for looking at cells and stuff? i dont know all i know is they handed them out to some employees when they were done using them. I took an exacto knife and removed the glue so the auto focus works and its like new!

 

WOW!!!

Well your abilities with the camera are getting there - those are some quality shots of a well - kept reef!

 

OMG! Do you know how much the lens costs?? Vortech MP40 + couple of nice acro frags and some change...

 

nice sun polyps, you will have to tell me how you care for them. how often do you feed them?

 

Thanks, its almost like reefing, lots of reading and understanding each setting.

Yeah i googled the camera and lens i couldn't believe they just gave them out.

Pink, I'll PM you in a minute

 

What's killing me is the moonlights on these LED's. They are so strong that every time I take a pic with only the moonlights it comes out distorted. Someone mentioned less exposure...i have no clue what that means. I want to really capture the neon colors with only the moonlights on. Any advice?

 

I know its kind of hard (and frustrating) to get the actinic right..
I dont really know if the less exposure has something to do with it. But here it goes: There is (+/-) button right below of the shutter to the right on D80. Hold the (+/-) button with the index finger and it shows "0.0" "+/-" on the display. Now if you want less exposure, you turn the dial which your thumb is touching to the right. It goes "-0.3" "-0.7" "-1.0"....

But again, I dont know if this would help with what you wanna accomplish. Anyway, try and post some pics please
