Feel free to add a pic of your fishies........

How big of a tank does it take to keep those lookdowns?

 

[ryebread]

hehe..........those lookdowns were held in a 500 gallon in one of my client's homes. Very cool fish but, needs soooooo much space.

 

[travis truman]

all those fish for 500 gals?
I understand the trigger and all.......but why so many gals?

 

[ryebread]

Those fish are from various tanks.
The threadfin lookdowns are the ones in the big tank........they need lots of room to swim.

Ryan...how are you taking those picture? through the glass? they seem so clear it's like the camera is actucally in the water.
Can you give me some details on your equiptment and how you take your pics?
Thanks

 

[eelfreakrobi]

got any of the complete view?

 

[ryebread]

Hey Joe- I use many different settings when shooting my pics. Most of those shots are with either film or digital cameras that you can change lenses on. I usually use a large f/stop to only get the subject in focus and not the dirt on the glass.

Here is one of my favorite fish in my 29 gallon........

And a shot of the whole tank.......long exposure.

 

[iceburger]

did you take the long exposure with the d100 or a 35mm?

 

[ryebread]

I took the long exposure with the D100 but, it would have looked much better with film. Film has a much better latitude for exposure than digital cameras.......oh well.

 

[iceburger]

eh, i shoulda known, but i guess for 2 grand the d100 should turn my car on in the morning too...

 

[wrassecal]

ooohhh! aaaahhh! as usual

Ryan, just wanted to complement you on your tanks...they look really GREAT!! You pictures are better than ones they publish in reef books! What cameras do you use to photograph your fish (brand, model, etc.?)...I'm looking to buy my mom a nice camera and yours looks like it takes excellent shots! Either E-mail me the info or post it on the board. Very Kool!
BTA- If you aren't one already...I'd seriously suggest you become a professional photographer...Awesome Work!!
Thanks,
Mike

 

[ryebread]

ummm.........thank you.
I have shot many cameras but, my cameras of choice right now are my Nikon F100 and D100. Get your mom one of each.
