Here's another pic of my bro with our Canon A80.. testing the difference between the Canon autoWB and the Nikon's....

This pic taken with the D70...

Bro sunny: Paid total 1.8k++ with 1gig lexar 80x card and a Hoya UV filter

[ervine]

Oh yah.. din do any editing (except resizing) for the 2nd photo.. donno why the colours turned out so vivid though... maybe it metered in my brother as well...

The D70 is sooooo cool

You feed tubiflex worm? Not scared all these platy kanna internal infection?

[damien]

not really.. I've fed my fishes tubis for years without any problems leh... the platies are those sold to feed other fishes, yes I buy them to keep coz they look nice and colourful. Other fishes have been doing well too, zebras, tetras, pleco, tiger barbs, corys, etc...

Only recently my new discuses somehow fell ill, so far 2 din make it out of 4... the other 2 hopefully will recover after medication but situation looks bleak man... sigh

Damien: Nope I use some action set.. denoise deluxe if I remember correctly...

good DSLR to start with

slowly it will be time to invest in a good macro lens....even scales on your firefish would be visible

yeah man but I think I'll get a tele first... macro prob need flash as well (for insects) and that's another 400-600 bucks... ouch!

Anyone can recommend a good tele? Looking to go to 300mm at least, 200 might be too short... today nearly kicked myself for not having a tele when shooting these monkeys.. my friend had a 70-200... can zoom in for full face portrait siah... swee!!

here's a cropped version.. pretty sharp straight out of the cam but added a wee bit more in PS...
