Hi all,
I'd like to share with you some Australian dragons.
I was at the Melbourne Aquarium and had a go at using the SB-800 flash.
BTW all photos were taken with the kit lens.
The water dragon:

Oh but it's so much more of a challenge shooting without the flash!
Good pics, got more?

Sensational.
So much colour and so sharp too, especially considering you had to shoot through thick glass.

KillaKoala - How do you know Christiand didn't climb in the dragon cage and snap away or use an underwater camera housing and jump into the aquarium such as the lengths our members will go to to take exceptional shots such as these?
Excellent photos - especially the reptile pic
Thanks for sharing also

Great shots christiand, you must have a really good camera.
(Joking of course, hope you read the other thread....)
I still haven't been to the aquarium, an oversight that needs to be remedied.

Love the water dragons. Skilful use of the flash and technically well done. They look so fragile! Beautiful composition.
The first dragon seemed a little too yellow so I copied the image and used the grey eye dropper in Photoshop (curves), to correct the colours. I think it looked better but I would not post your pic back without your permission. I would rather you posted it as you see best.
Keep them coming!

Hi Matt,
I also saw the image being a little bit too yellow and wasn't sure what to do. Please show me your suggestions.
Cheers

Hi Chrisiand
Liked the leafy and weedy.
The c-fish1 is a very funny shot - the eyes make it look comical - I'd crop the excess on the right-side of the photo though- great shot!

Yes I do christiand, and that's a good shot. The mood on a wet night is well captured, nice work.
Was it handheld or tripod?
