[SHAOLINMAN]

I found it extremely difficult to get them right,out of about 50 shots these were the best i could do,im gonna practice more i think ,took me all night trying to get the darn things uploaded ,did it in the end so happy days.. .What do you think? any advice would be well appreciated.

Lovely, clear shots. My husbands left his digital, minolta here while he's away, but I'm bug**red if I can figure it out! I can just about manage the auto program, wouldn't have a clue how to set it to macro, or even if it can be set it to macro?!?

Great macro shots, ive posted some decent ones on here myself in the past, im most impressed by your signature "The great wave off Kanagawa" but as this is about your fish i will restrain my excitement over it.

Hey thanks you guys.Heres some pics of my tank in progress from set up day to present,Just for you Paul .It's still going through the very last stages of cycling (i hope),so plants have yet to grow fully,still not sure on layout,keep moving things about,any suggestions?.I know people might think its risky having rams in while cycling but i assure you,i do regular water changes and testing with the API kit in fact im pretty obsessed with knowing all thats happening with my tank .My tank is a juwel rekord 96,So far i have in the tank 2x Honey Gouramis, 2x Blue Rams (male and female) 5x rummys and 4x Neons.

Yes i agree Fishbone i found it very hard indeed,i tried to take a pic of my tank but found i had messed up all the settings in my digital camera .But if you can find the manual for your cam all is explained,its a bit over my head at the min but will stick at it .

Thanks mikster,yes i fell in love with that picture the min i saw it,im still trying to get my misus to let me buy a poster and frame it and put it on the wall,i managed to get a calender with the artist's pictures on,he loved to paint scenes with the ocean and mount fuji in the background,Hukasai is my fav artist theres something about the way he paints the waves. . Anyway i'll stop blabbering on heres the pics....

Nice clear shots, they are not the easiest fish to photograph. I have some good ones of my boy, but some real doozy's when he suddnely moves really quickly. Its like he knows I am trying to photograph him!

Yer your right there Rhiannon,just when you get the perfect moment and you take the snap they move,i managed to get this lovely one of them both together the other day,these two really seem to have paired up now,had him and another female in my old tank but she died ,i dont know why but it was very sad, so we went and bought a new girly for him,he did harrass the hell out of her for a short while but soon they both got on and her colours came back(this pic really doesn't do her justice,she's just as colourful as the male with a little rosey belly) .Have you posted any of your rams anywhere yet Rhiannon?.
