My best shot ever!!!

Now if we could all have the kind of patience it takes to get a shot like that.

Great picture and my congrats on capturing that shot.

That is a Brilliant Picture, Don't know why no-one has Nomed it yet.

So heres the First Nom.

Whats the name of the Lilly Again - i always forget the Name

Wow, thanks for all the nice comments . My camera is an Olympus D-230, quite old, don't think they sell them anymore. It's so easy to use, when I'm taking shots of my tank I reduce the exposure setting and make sure the room is completely dark (except tank lights). This pic was taken using the macro setting, I just pointed the camera where I wanted and waited for the shot. It didn't take long, my Cardinals are quite cheeky now, they're colour has improved so much since I've planted heavily and softened my water (RO).

We're quite lucky in the UK as most Cardinals are tank bred from the Czech Republic and are relatively hardy, I know of people who keep them in pH 8!! Not that I would.

psgill - The lily is Nymphaea sp. either stelleta or japonicus

Oooh that such a great pic! So colorful, so crisp and clear!! Nice Job!

Lookat dem fishies!!!

Nice pic

I second the nomination for FOTM

Which camera by the way? I am looking for a new digicam at the moment

hahahah thats a great picture! I'm tempted to take the Deer Capture camera I have out in the woods and set it up infront of my tank lol.

(deer capture camera takes 50 pictures a minute and puts them on a DVD)
