Playing with camera functions

I know not as good as some but I found my manual functions and I will keep on trying :joy:

This last is a video using my camera.

what kind of camera do you have?

 

[scubaguy]

Canon powershot a540

i have an A-530. are you using the manual focus (MF) on the camera? it makes for much better pics, also i think you should try messing with your aperture, that will take some of the grainy look out of your pics.

btw love your tank

 

[scubaguy]

Yeah, MF. I like this setting better and I will try playing more with the aperture more. I still have a lot of more playing to do. There are a lot of people on this board that aspire me to try to do better with the pictures they take.

Thanks

thanks for the thanks, and just keep reading about the photography, you will learn quickly. also, give the flash a try, this can work well to when the lights are off in the tank, but its harder to focus w/ lights off. good luck with da photography

also, once the pic is on your computer, go to your photo editor and try turning down the brightness, and up the saturation just a little, it will bring out some deeper, richer colors. i think i got this tip off of swf.com, so this is a great site for info, keep reading
