Description Just playing around with my new Nikon 5100. I am by NO means a photographer so go easy. I am completely open and eager for constructive criticism.

Koi at feeding time--squee! Koi are awesome fish, but I don't get to see them often enough. Very nice!

This is actually pretty kickass! You've got a natural knack for being able to capture activity, too. Every picture of koi I've ever taken has sucked, cos they've all looked dead or completely disinterested.

This picture makes me want to just stomp on their heads with my boots! I think that's a normal reaction to freaky-looking fish, huh?

I'm a sucker for Koi, I love feeding the ones at a local aquarium store all the time, fat B*stards that they are! My partner won't let me have one as a pet because not only are they big buggers as adults, but the 5 rats, 10 mice, 23 snakes, and several frogs, fish, lizards and turtles are enough for me right now!

Really cool motif If you look to the right you have the camera data for this image. There you see shutter speed and ISO speed. You could turn up the ISO to 1600 or more on moving objects and low light conditions (or use the corresponding automatic setting). I have no experience with the Nikon 5100 but some new cameras produce fairly decent images at high ISO rates without the resulting image looking too grainy.

You're probably find it curious :this photography would be a very good impressionnist painting! A humid and sticky impressionism, certainly...

this is going to sound weird, but is this taken in fort worth at the botanical gardens? o__O
I have several pictures almost exactly like this. But I guess these koi are found all around xD but I haven't seen them anywhere to such a mass amount at once.
