Playing with my new camera -Pics of cichlids

Awesome pics...great job
What kind of camera are you using??

Stunning color and markings on that yellow lab!

Amazing pictures & a nice collection too. Yes.. what camera? and is this in auto mode?

Thanks guys!

The camera is a Canon Rebel XS with a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens. I haven't mastered fully manual yet.

Where did you get your glass from. I have that same camera but I have the lens it came with.

Wow, those are some amazing shots! REALLY! Nice fish, too

The camera I bought new as a kit with 18-55mm & the 75-300mm lens. I got the 100mm macro on ebay along with a 430exII flash from a guy making the switch to Nikon. I can now tell that the glass and lighting makes all the difference.

Heres a great site for aquatic photography: I browse here alot. Great equipment reviews, tips & tricks etc.
