  1. I am always frustrated by the camera of my $0 Samsung Ace3 so I took the opportunity to queue for 3 hours (you know, those 10 sets per day thingy) during last Sat electronic fairs and got myself a Nikon D3200 at a special price. Of course I am not getting this DSLR for the sole purpose of photographing my tank (my camera before this was six years old, a 8 MPS Sony), but hey since I already got it, why not maximize the usage of it. I have no complaints about the D3200 normal photos taking capability (although it is a two years old model and its newer brother D3300 is better) but when comes to taking photos for my tank, it is a completely new ball game. thus starting this topic to share what I have experienced so far and hopefully bros here can chip in on ways/ methods to help me take better photos. So far I am focusing on taking corals first, fish shall be next. sigh... if i cant take stationery corals well, those swimming fish will make me crazy... Just a few things I have learned during the last few days when come to reef photos taking. 1) Marco lens is expensive. if you are serious (and have a deep pocket) you shall get one. 2) Forget about the default marco mode, the only decent photo you can take out of it is a laptop, which is not entirely small. 3) when taking coral, exposure setting is more important than aperture and shutter speed 4) take photos in RAW format and go compare the settings for those photos that are better taken. 5) feed you coral the night before, chances are they will appear fatter and open out more. That all I can remember now. All bros/ sis are welcomed to share any tips. Below are a batch of photos that I have taken in JPG, resized to 5% of the original file size to test out how it will appear in SRC. Give myself another two weeks to take satisfactory macro photo before deciding to buy a Tamron AF 18-200mm F3.5 - F6.3 lens... from taobao...
