New Camera = New Pics

[mark7616]

I got myself a sexy new camera today so thought I would show you some pictures I took while trying to get the hang of it. Its a canon EOS 400D if anyone has any pointers of how to take the perfect pic let me know. Anyway here is what I have got so far.

This is my hardest fish to phot its really hard to get a good shot.

And the rest

Looks to me like you already figured out how to take perfect pictures. Judging by the stellar quality of these pics I'm guessing the new camera is an SLR camera. I want one but am too poor.

Great looking tank and fish by the way.

Very nice pics .. I find it so hard to get the color and contrast on some of these fish. Are you using a filter for the fluorescent lighting by any chance? Regardless the pics are wonderful!

turn the bubbles off from the 2252s before you take pics it the bubbles the cam cant focus on

i cant be asked turning them off when i take pics but they come out much better without them

the aro looks real good

Great shot's, especially the stingray and aro. My mate just got a 400D and I'm pretty jealous of it .

Having said that I've not even yet fully got the hang of my p&s bridge camera .

I think what you are trying to say is that the camera will struggle to focus when there are bubbles in the water....thats not true, as long as you have a half decent camera (which Mark does) and you have the setup correctly, it will completely ignore the small bubbles and focus on the point in space where the reticule is looking. Ie. Put the target point on the fish and not the water itll be absolutely fine.

Having said that if you have a long exposure set on the camera while taking a full tank shot then you will run the chance of seeing what look like white lines as obviously the bubles move while the shutter is closing. If you are doing slow exposure shots you have 2 options, 1) as i think you were trying to say turn the venturi off. 2) have the flash fire on the close of the shutter not the opening, this will give a very soft fluid look to the bubbles in the water, and not a hard white line.
