skuzza Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I would snap that branch off just past the white bit just incase it keeps dieing.Then snap the white bit off the brnch removed and make a frag . I have the same type of over flow and found i lost a few fish over the top. I put a plastic great along the top which stoped the overflow noise and kept the fish in.

Please don’t take this wrong because I am not talking smack at all. I just want to make the point that for they types of pictures 90% of us are trying to take, just about any “decent†camera will do a fantastic job. A mate of mine has an average camera (point and shoot) and gets just as good of pictures as any that all of you are boasting about. I have spent thousands on my DSLR camera setup and his pictures are definitely better than mine. Some of the best pictures that I’ve seen on RC are taken with some of the better point and shoot cameras. I’m sure that we could get great pictures with our current cameras (specifically that 5mp Sony that you have) if we took the time to learn how to do so. We don’t need a specific camera with a specific technology to get good “web posting†quality pictures. I think this falls into the same category of, “My tank is not as good as those RC TOTM tanks. What can I buy to make my tank that good?†Not implying that this is your husbandry philosophy Chimera, just an analogy of traits common among reefers.

chimera Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Im making a comparison of different camera's taking the same shots of my tank. The Canon was far superior quality than my Sony. I have edited my photos coming from the Sony to reduce the blue. The picture is far to saturated and the colours are unrealistic. Its the technology that goes into the camera that makes a good photo (if you are comparing one camera to the next, same photo, same lighting etc) It's highly probable that your mates "cheap" camera has a top quality CCD, perhaps lacking in other features that would otherwise make it expensive. I'm also not saying every Canon kicks arse either, but the "cheap" one that my mate had (similar priced to my Sony, in fact slightly cheaper) took a much better shot. I don't know how much more evidence you need than that. Perhaps I should have stipulated models - to be fair what I have just described compares one model to another, not one make to another. Perhaps Sony use a more advanced CCD in their top models? Who knows. All I do know is every model Canon I have seen takes exceptionally good photo's. Purely observation.

All that I'm saying is that if you/we learn how to use the camera properly then you/we should be able to get very good shots (given that it is a decent middle of the range point and shoot). Granted, one camera may take better pictures straight out of the box by any old monkey (not that you or I are monkeys ), but with a bit of education on picture taking, both cameras will probably take very good pictures. I can only go by your posts, but is seems that you are spending more time learning how to modify the poorly taken pictures with a program rather than first try to take a decent shot. If you want to compare cameras (irrespective of your picture taking knowledge, which hopefully will improve), then you should read the webpages refered to many times on this forum where the comparisons are done by professionals that are solely comparing technology and not the current limited ability of the photographer. Again though with out abilities and types of pictures we take, it will probably make no difference in the quality of our picture given we know how to use the camera properly. You mention now and were also stating in a different post that you couldn't get the white balance sorted and thus have crap "blue" pictures. This will be the same with ANY camera. In fact, the better the cameras get (DSLR) the harder it is to get great shots since you have way more option, => need to know more, => more to screw up. Again, please don't take offense because I really don't mean to upset you. If anything, just trying to save you some cash so you can get that upgrade of yours done sooner!! I personally think that Canons are GREAT cameras with GREAT lenses. Wish I would have bought one, but my wife has preferences as well. :-? However, they are not necessary to get really good shots.
