Fantastic pics of some gorgeous looking fish. What sort of camera are you using.

[kevkoi]

Nice... nice.

Thanks for the help Millard. Much much appreciated. :)

[Proteus]

Excellent looking fishy friends you have there

excellent looking fish and top quality photos well done

[kkiu]

Hi everyone. Thanks for all the kind replies
The photos were taken by a DV camera. Dont know too much of the specs of the camera, just know it takes good pictures :) very idiot proof.

hehe :)

I love taking the closer up shots of the discus, if anyone else has some. It would be great if you could share them with us.

When i have the time, ill put up some more myself.

OK, apart from very clean glass, healthy colourful fish and excellent camera - how did you take such fantastic shots?
Did you use a flash -
Can you let us know the shutter speed -

You weren't actually in the tank with dem? :o
Any info that could help improve my feeble attempts at fish photography would be greatly received.
Cheers
Sean

[kalebjarrod]

you always have such a clean tank

lovley fish,

what brand camera do you use?

[kkiu]

The camera is a Panasonic DV
as for the shutter speed, im not sure but i can probably find out. Im not camera savvy - the camera is automatic and does everything for me

The first pic of the ocean green was taken with a flash, all the other pics were without, i just find that the use of the flash changes the colour of the discus a little


And as for the clean tank, my bf says its cause its a "girls" tank :wink:

[Sean]

That must be it then - Girls can do almost everything better - but fish keeping, Oh nooooooooooooo :shock:
Thanks for the info :oops:

[Merrilyn]

LOL GIRLS ROCK!

[kalebjarrod]

LOL, cause girls do fish keeping better

tell that to my wife this arvo as she caught the hose around my full 200lt stoarge container with her car, dropped the water over 3 power points, shorted out all my equipment, fucked my auto water changer, and smashed her now very bloody nose all over the wall in the process of finding this out

love my wife, shes beautiful, but she can't go near my tanks LOL

[Merrilyn]

Awww give her a big hug Ryan cos her nose is going to be very sore for a few days. And keep her well away from the fish LOL
