weileong Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 can start a SRC macro photography class???..... I think just follow the basic and certainly can get some decent shot. 1. Keep your glass clean (inside and outside) 2. shoot perpenticular to the glass to miminse distortion, most of us no money for clear glass Quote Weileong's 4ft tank Part I Weileong's 4ft tank Part II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weileong Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Close up on your zoos leh close shop for the night already All the photos are raw, no editing, just crop and resize (reduce resolution) Oh yes reduce by exposure by up to 1 stop (for nikon camera) so the brighter parts of the image won't be saturated.

SRC Member hamannbmw Posted January 13, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 13, 2005 - 13 Jan 05 - is that a pink table with blue tips... heard not much success on this, only a few of them here able to hold its colour and keep it alive.

SRC Member planetg Posted January 13, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 13, 2005 yup. similar specimen. however when i picked it up from ##, it wasn't looking that impressive like the one u got! my immediate priority is to keep it alive. colours can go and return later. notice the over exposure on the later else the peach is still pretty ok. wish me luck it's my first such table and i wanted closed-up shots on the polyps but my camera sux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member patrick123 Posted January 23, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 23, 2005 This may be off topick, but just wondering can the D70 use the old Nikkor lens? I have a old Nikon F801 with the AF 28-70 and 70-210 zoom lenses. Thinking of just changing the body to digital and use back the lens. Is this possible? Anyone knows where to trade in the old camera?

weileong Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Depending on how old is your nikon lens. Certain function might not be supported with your old lens. Worst case there'll be no AF and you have to do your own metering. Here's from the D70 specs. 1.) DX Nikkor: All functions supported 2.) Type G or D-AF Nikkor: All functions supported 3.) Micro AF 85mm F2.8D: All functions supported except autofocus and some exposure modes Other AF Nikkor(Excluding Lenses for F3AF). All functions supported except 3D Color matrix metering, i-TTL balanced Fill-Flash for Digital SLR 4.) AI-P Nikkor: All functions except 3D Color Matrix Metering, 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash and AF possible 5.) Non-CPU AI Nikkor : Usable in [M] mode but exposure meter does not function; electronic range finder can be used if maximum aperture is f/5.6 or faster.

roidan Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 you can try peninsula shops for camera trade-in.. but hold your horses.....nikon may be announcing new cameras in spring similarly for canon, they offered 300d long time back and then nikon bettered it with D70.... and a canon replacement will be due to better the D70 very soon..... the canon 20d displaced D100 in the midrange, and nikon will be due to better it with a replacement for their D100... so wait around spring for the new releases....some international photographic expos around then and that's when they launch new models or announce new models Quote Advanced Aquarist (March05) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amteo Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Bro, If you find out from Nikon service center can you let me know? Coz I'm out station at the moment. Thanks, Patrick Just checked with the Nikon Service Tech. For AF lenses, no problem. Can be used with the D70. For the speedlight, problem! The older models can only be used as a manual flash with the D70. That is to say, all metering, control and fundtions are either disabled or have to be done manually.
