New macro lens

Post by RVbldr »

Finally got around to picking up a new +5 macro for my RX100 and had a chance to try it last week at Pinacle off Down Time (awesome boat). Unfortunately, the water was really chunky or else the Lion's Mane would have come out better. :angry:

Nice pics ... taking anything midwater when there's chunks of plankton is really difficult ... and almost impossible without strobes and manual settings.

Good news is the water's clearing up ... for a few days, at least ...

Thanks Bob, I had a strobe on the Lion's Mane, but it just wouldn't have made any difference with the big chunks of snot in the water column.
