Just got back from the Super Bowl party. I guess the Steelers proved they are the best team in the NFL for the last month or so. Although I would have preferred the Seahawks to win, don't really care since I had both teams in the playoffs pool. The two missed field goals cost me $370. But I still won $50...better than nothing.
About the photo. Francine, I knew this shot was too tightly framed. But would you believe I had to add frame to it in ps. The fish swam into my lens and I got it all in the frame, but barely. I added ten pixels to each side of this downsized 640 wide save.
With the size of these Peacocks, and the 60mm macro, many times I can't fit them in the frame because I have to have the lens just so close to the built-in-the-wall tank to trigger the remote flash on the other side of the wall.
This explains why so many of my shots are full framed profiles. I don't usually crop when I use the 60mm f/2.8 micro lens.
I have my best success with framing subjects with the 50mm f/1.8d. But it is not as sharp as the 60mm macro. The silly thing to do would be to buy a 50mm macro lens. Benny Ng has a 50mm, 60mm, and 100mm macro for aquarium photography. I understand why now. B)
