  1. Testing the 105mm with the D70

  2. I really like the shallow depth of field and rule of thirds composition on the second shot. The smooth out of focus background is very effective.

     

    I think that the scorpionfish might look nice as a vertical.

     

    I think that your strobe is aimed a bit high and behind the eye of the octopus. The main part of the subject, the eye is in shadow.

  3. U have some nice shots there...well done

  4. I like also the second shot for it framing and great DOF.

  5. Did you use manual focus? I have found the 105 hard to use with autofocus. Even when I shot a F100; a camera with a very good autofocus. I have no problem shooting the 60 autofocus but have always found I needed manual focus with the 105.

     

    Nice shots. The perspective of the 105 gives really dramatic macro shots.
