That was my guess as well, but probably for the wrong reasons.

Or two, hard to tell.

I'm just waiting on Jose's guess.

I'll pick number 2. Although it is showing shadow, it has less detail indicating a larger aperture was used.

I remember these pics and how they came out so bright, so it won't be fair to answer!

Ah, okay. darn.


Well, for the other guys, these were all taken without flash.

The point?

I forget now.

No, the point is I would not be able to shoot pics this crisp with a kit lens without flash, so there is some value to going with good glass (if you can afford it) before flash.

I will have to disagree (politely of course ) again b/c your circumstances for shooting may be different than others. I agree that glass vs. glass there is no comparison, pro wins in ALL apertures. But we have to think that not everyone has a brightly colored fish, high output bulbs over the tank, the ability to hold a camera steady etc etc etc. With that in mind, when people as SPECIFICALLY what should I buy first to get better pix with my DSLR, I say a flash. This is the broadest solution to the problem of more light. Then of course, if you have the $$ go ftw and get both. Nice trick with the shots, and I feel a little amateur guessing one of them

btw, did you ever get the 600?

I will be upgrading to a nikon d90 and some new glass soon too.

I know most fish keepers will think it's nuts to spend $$$$$$ on a lens.

Honestly, I was trying to bait Jose but didn't realize he saw these pics elsewhere, lol. Sorry, Jose.

As to the 600, not in my bag yet. I need to buy a truck first.

Probably buy two for the price of that friggin beast. I am lusting afer the 85 1.4 at the moment. I had the 1.8 but that big honking glass is calling me.
