I have recently received a new camera for a birthday gift, resurrecting a long lost hobby. I have a Nikon D300 with a great Nikon 18-300mm AF lens (got a great deal at www.keepitdigital.com). With new camera in hand, I had to try my hand taking pictures of the koi. A nice metallic showa (nicknamed Metallica) shows up nicely against the darker water and liner background.
Note to take away: In some cases the new functionality available in today's cameras actually makes taking pictures of fish tougher. This shot is taken with an auto focusing lens from Nikon (18MM-300MM AF zoom). It works fine when the fish are near the surface, but not so good when deeper. Apparently the auto focus keys off the surface of the water.
Enjoy
