look like a nice FO tank. try adjusting your white ballance to rid yourself of the yellow look.

I like it. I really like the French Angelfish. What camera are you using? How long have you been setup?

Will you turn on the weather for your next shot? J/K, but we can see your TV. Good thing you weren't watching....well, you know.

ok, from the camera guy here. (I manage a camera store) great camera, just make sure you stay out of the digital zoom as that will degrade your picture quality. Now, this is gonna sound funny, and look even funnier, but to get rid of the washing out effect, put a piece of toilet paper over the flash. This will diffuse the light and allow the colors to come through.

Very Interesting!!! :thinking: Any other little hints you have for perfecting aquaria picture taking? I know when we take a picture, it comes out way too light (flash you know).
I am a regular 35mm camera kinda gal. I am having a hard time making the transition to digital. My man keeps telling me how much better the pics can be. But I like taking pics the old fashioned way. If we get a new digital, I will put my best foot forward in order to make the transition.
Old habits die hard though.
Any way, if you have any other tidbits, I would love to hear them. (Unless they are your trade secrets
).........................Peace
