His slt is 2 days old. Even when I do agree lens will last the user much longer then the body. It don't make sense to tell the boy to buy a lens costing more then the body so soon.
This is another poison that is well known haha.
Btw: not to side track too much. Any more people using prosumer willing to add some input ?

Well, how do I know his camera only 2 days.
Besides he did ask "if zoom lens or macro lens is better to take SMALL object", didn't he? So whats wrong with recommending a macro lens, its not like the lens costs thousands.
Anyway, for your case, maybe you can try the following:
- reduce saturation & contrast slightly in picture color profile, this should reduce the green color bloom on HC & expose more details.
- reduce exposure compensation if its still overexposed
- use faster shutter speed to avoid blur by increasing ISO but do not go pass ISO 400 as this will turn your photo noisy (or soft/mushy if the noise reduction kicks in)

.. and use tripod if you have not done so.
Cause I think he getting broke
He does talk to me abit and yeah he is more keen on close up shots. So keep the poison coming slowly.
Tonight I will try again.
I'm still looking for a normal tripod as mine quite short. for now I'm still using it on top of chairs and boxes.

I understand, bro. But I just replied based on what he said above, he said his SLT not as good as DSLR, so I assumed he has some prior knowledge in using DSLR. I certainly wont recommend lenses to anyone who just pick up photography for 2 days.
But then again, the lens I recommended only cost $200+, i'm sure he spent more on his tanks.
Anyway, I better stop here, else i'll be too much OT in bro felix thread
Haha chill guys. Lets not go to the battlefield. Thanks for all the tips. I think I will go for the expensive lens. Which means I also will stick to this Len for awhile haha need to build up my $$$ pagoda before can get lens. Will build up on my Photoshop skills to compensate haha.
still learning the hard way!!
Back to the topic... this was my photo using S95.
Canon PowerShot S95

Exposure: 1/60
ISO:250
Focal length: 6mm
aperture: 2
Hi bro, thanks for the compliments. The exif data are all there. And also, I am no expert, still doing trial and error and sometimes, lazy and revert back to using Auto (and unfortunately, having better results using Auto).

yeah yeah please submit, Singapore need more entry . Not to mention this year result will be base on participant votes
Yes, 2 feet with room light off. Only lights is the 4x24w aquarium light.
This was my last year's IAPLC submission already after the HC grew in a bit more. I kind of bought the S95 for this because I knew I cannot make it with DSLR.
