Duff0712 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hey Shrimpspot! I have been trying to set up a website for my photography over the past month or so. I mainly deal with macro and animal photography (I even have a section for only shrimp haha). I try to only add the photos I feel are the best of my collection. I add more as I take them of course, but updates will be unscheduled as I don't know when I will get a chance to go out and photograph. http://jamestduffy.smugmug.com I thought I would share with you guys, hoping to get any sort of feedback/advice/criticism! I try to get as many different eyes as possible. Not everybody likes the same thing or thinks the same way. Thanks! edit: My welcome blog should be a lot longer than it is. Talking about me and how I got into photography etc. I don't know why it messed up, but I will change it soon. Wygglz and svetilda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Great work! I actually just picked up my first DSLR and will be purchasing a macro lens in the short term. Mind sharing what type of camera and lenses/accessories? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35ppt Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 as always, your photos are simply fantastic. Looking forward to future additions! In the Shrimpery gallery, #25/76 is a blue shrimp, with dark bands. Is this blue dream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind sharing what type of camera and lenses/accessories? Thank you Thanks and awesome! What DSLR did you get? I have a Nikon D7000 and use a Tamron 100mm. It's a great lens! I have loved it since getting it. Also, if you haven't gotten one yet, I would highly recommend an external flash as well. Takes a little bit to get down how to use it at its best, but man does it make a difference. as always, your photos are simply fantastic. Looking forward to future additions! In the Shrimpery gallery, #25/76 is a blue shrimp, with dark bands. Is this blue dream? Thank you. I believe it is either a Blue Dream or Blue Rili. I believe it was marketed as a blue dream, but most of the community said it was a rili. I am not 100% sure though. Stunning pictures. Great work and thanks for sharing. Thanks!

DETAquarium Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I purchased a Canon Rebel SL1, came with the standard 18-55mm. I plan on purchasing a Canon 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro lens. I was looking at the external flashes as I have heard from many great photographers of shrimp that lighting is so very important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I don't know too much about Canon except there is one lens I want from canon really bad haha. Yeah an external flash is pretty much a must in my opinion. Let's you shoot at a higher shutter speed and higher depth without having to jack up your ISO making your photos grainy. -Duffy DETAquarium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like experimenting with old film SLRs myself.Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
