Picked up a Nikon D40... a few pix

[Tongue33]

Shutter speed between 60 and 80 and aperture of 5.6. I was able to get the aperture down to 4.8 yesterday, but when I tried it today it wouldn't go lower than 5.6???

Any recommendations?

The farther out you lens is zoomed the lower the Ap can go. I think you maybe able to get just under 3...... But the lens has to be zoomed completely out

Much better by the way!

Looking good bro! Did you have both ray's when I was out at your place?

Yeah, I had both of them. One has always been a bit shy. You might not have noticed him.

Looking good, I want a D40 so bad. You have quite a collection of fish/rays too, how many tanks do you have?

I have a 10, a 29, a 75, and a 220g right now. Saving for a 585g acrylic at present.

The highest lens aperture you can get all depends on the lens.

I've been investing in 2.8 aperture lenses as of late. the faster the lens- the higher the price.

look at your lenses and read what the highest aperture you can get is.

you don't need a tripod to get good shots ethier. i personally hate them, but in certain shooting situations (such as shooting long exposures and/or larger telephoto lenses even with VR, they are a neccecery evil.

I think I'm starting to get this down. I slowed the shutter speed down and turned on the noise filter to counter the 1600 ISO. Pics are coming out a little nicer...
