These are very nice. I've got to experiment with my white-balance controls some more. Your pictures look very natural.

Cheers Martin, I have the white-balance set on auto for now but I have been playing with the ISO and took these set on 800 :)

Great shots Duff, thanks for sharing. If that's what you're doing with the factory lens I cannot wait to see what you do with new lenses 8)

Just keep clicking MD. Beautiful snaps and plumpy fishes! :D
Just a tip, F8 with a fast shutter @ ISO 350 is a sweet spot of the cam with that lens for fish! :wink:

Very Nice pictures MD. I am very impressed of the quality of the D90 at ISO 800, I see no noise. Very cool!!

Nice upgrade Mark - What lenses do you have coming??? A 60mm and a 105mm Micro I guess. I have the 60mm and just love it and it can be used for much more than close-ups. You will be needing a flash as well so the SB900 will be next on your wish-list - just love mine.
Cheers Graeme.
