hello everyone
i have been taking pictures with digital cameras since they first hit the market. even though i have been doing it for a long time the cameras i have used have always been regular old every day digitals from ranging from 3 MP HP cameras to my last camera a canon S2 IS 5 MP.
as you can see nothing special compared to what most of you have.
well yesterday i felt like i wanted to move up in the world a step or two
I purchased a Canon 40D. with a Canon EF 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens
still nothing top notch but far better then anything i have ever owned. i have been reading like crazy everything i can get my hands on and the more i read the more confused i get
My question is
now what? lol.
is there any good advice i should know right off the bat that would get me off to a good start? my main subject is close up live coral in an aquarium setting. condition are VERY VERY bright with powerful heltal halide lighting that is on the blue scale of things in the 20k range. i need to be able to take macro style pictures showing great detail and clarity. I own a coral company and i use these pictures to sell our corals. should i be able to accomplish this with this lens and camera combo? any adive would be greatly appriciated
