Amazing photography and shrimp!

Care to share some details about how you got those shots and that depth of field? Specifically Aperture settings and lighting would be awesome!

Thank you,
Whiskey

Thanks guys! appreciate it! :smile:
It tooks me time and effort to achieve them, especially the Red Hino and Xtreme KK... All were born in my tanks. At the end of the day, I'm happy with the result.


@Whiskey:
To be able to get good depth of field, you need good light and how you position at your subject. I shot all in manual mode, aperture was around f8-f11 at low Iso.

Sometimes shrimps also need some direction (posing) just like shooting people portraits

What lens were you using?

How do you light your subject? Do you use bright constant lighting? Or a flash?

Thank you!

Shot wit a 100mm f2.8 Macro

What lens were you using?

 

[Tamtep]

I personaly experiment both lighting types (constant and flash). However I found flash working better for what I wanted to achieve. In my case I found constant light didn't have enough power therefore I had to shoot wide open in order to get good result...

You can always experiment it and find out which fit better for ya...

Yeah I'd love to get my hands on a 100mm 2.8 macro but Theyre pretty pricey.

I have the same experience with constant light, it's why I was asking in fact. I have not tried flash yet because I don't have a good off camera flash. The DOF while shooting this close up at 2.8 is so short the legs are out of focus - cool effect, but not always what I want

Thank you!

Yes it's a nice as artistic feel
But at f2.8 you won't get sharp image all around the edge for sure.


Just look around, you can get some affordable flash wireless trigger...

can you take a picture of your rig all setup for taking shrimp photos?

This would be great! I'm curious to see how you position the flash? Do you light overhead ontop of the tank? Or light through the glass from the front?

Sorry if I'm running away with your thread :icon_roll
