First pictures with new camera

[enchanted]

No, this isn't pulled from some site. I actually caught it. Best picture yet. But I need to clean the outside class. I can see drops on the glass.

Second of some cories.

They are the easiest because they don't move much.

Now for the cobra male. He moved to much. Every time I had a perfect focus shot and snapped, he would move!

i like that guppy! i have a couple of guppies in my communty, but i want to make a whole guppy tank, and when i do i will get some of those, they are cool!

 

[enchanted]

Yeah, the picture doesn't do him justice either. I'm hoping he will calm down so I can get a decent shot, but it's like he knows I'm taking his picture.

More cory shots. Peppered corys this time.

BTW, for those that are wondering this is an Olympus D-540.

Awwwww, they're so cute! I love Corys! You've got a good start on using your camera. Your first attempts are certainly better than mine were It took me awhile to find that handy "Macro Mode" button Amazing how much better your close-up pictures turn out when you turn on "Macro Mode", eh?

While blurry, that picture of your Guppy still looks neat.

Are your Bronze Corys spawning? I think I see eggs in the fins of one of 'em (in the first picture), but I can't tell for sure if it's an egg/eggs or a spot on the glass. Their "pose" looks sorta like they're spawning too...

There are spots on the glass. I need to clean the side glass, I usually only clean the front.

I hope they aren't spawning yet, because I plan to move them to the ten gallon breeder and do that next week.

I haven't spawned corys yet, so I didn't know that was the pose, but I have seem them do that more than once.

Edit: Yes, the macro mode is great. So is the 10x Zoom w/ the zoom button.

hey ddreams,

I love the cories, unfortunatly, i have lot of bottom dweller (Clown Loaches and a YoYo loach)

On the other hand have you bought a new camera yet?? If not, look at some of the pictures I have posted, its a Canon A85, not a bad 4 MP camera with full manual controls. Can be had for $~240

If you want, I can email you pictures of some shots I took

 

[enchanted]

These are with the new camera.

I picked up an Olympus D-540 3.2MP and 128MB Card (seperate) for a total of $136.00.

Here are a few more shots.

My PLECO is getting BIG! Gonna have to start calling him tough guy, he is the biggest fish in the tank.

One of my female guppys.

At least she stood still, even if I didn't.

If they are spawning, you should see the female's...something fins - which fins they are escapes me right now - clasped together and you'll be able to see eggs in them. Pelvic fins - those are the ones! There will also be eggs stuck on the glass and/or the bottoms of plant leaves - or little round spots where the eggs were before the fish ate 'em :0 My Neons love the Cory eggs - they're like "Oh, look! Stick-on-the-tank snacks, just for us! Yum!" <gulp>

Well, tomorrow they are all coming out of the tank, I mean all, guppys, pleco, corys, and going into the ten so I can do some major aquascaping.

That is how the tank looks a the moment, but there are major changes coming tomorrow.

i used digital photo librarian and cleaned this pic...it is such an awesome shot...great work.

 

[Dwarfs]

I see eggs

 

[enchanted]

It could be. I just hope they breed next week when I put them in the breeder.

Thank you for clearing that up blue-ice. I got really lucky with this shot.
