Default Hermitt
Hello All,
Im new to this site (and to this hobby, I only bought my camera off ebay about 3 weeks ago)

But I took this photo of a red hermitt crab in my reef fish tank and I was quite suprised how well it came out (well in my amature opinion)

The camera was on fully auto and the details are

SonyA200
Kit Lens (Sony 18-70mm)
Camray Macro lense (+10) screwed in the end
f/5.6
1/80sec
Iso-400

I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do

P.S. To give you some idea of the size of this crab, his house (shell) is about 15mm wide

That is awesome! Excellent shot, and through the tank glass too.
