Nikon D90 Macro video

[AussieByron]

This is the collection of my second attempt at Video with the Nikkon D90. This time I have used the Nikkor 60mm Macro lens with a nano LED focusing light. I still need more light as you can see and hopefully soon I will try it out with my HID can light.

It takes a little getting used to trying to hold the camera still for periods of time as surge has its effect on the balance.

Also I tilted the camer 90 degrees to get more of the GPF in the frame forgetting that I can't rotate the video when finished. So a couple of GPF clips you have to turn your head side on.lol

Here is a small video I did today on my Nikon D90 of a local frogfish/Anglerfish. There was a bit of surge which meant it was very hard to keep still. The little nano focusing light also helped bring back a little bit of colour. I think the HID will be a better option.

I picked up a D90 a few months ago and I love it. No uw housing yet (a little too spendy right now), but hopefully I'll get one soon. For now though, the above water photography is keeping me occupied. As stated above, it takes a bit of getting used to controlling the camera in video mode. I can only imagine trying to do it under water. Anyway, i wouldn't hesitate to reccomend a D90 to anyone interesed in a mid level DSLR.
