Conaquavict Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Definately one of my fav fish, I love the way they interact with each other, even the play dead thing they do is funny when you get used to it. Posing Doing the play dead thing, Acara gives it a nudge. On cruise control mode Group shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Lovely photos! The focus is just beautiful. (and the fish!!!) Can I ask how you took them? I assume you are using the flash, what sort of angle were you on and how far from the glass? Thanks. I find it easy to take photos of my bullies which sit on the bottom, but definitely not of the galaxiids swimming about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conaquavict Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi Stella. The camera is a Nikon D70s, lense 18 - 70mm pics were taken in A mode (Aperture priority) ISO 200, shutter speed 1/60 F22, I had my SB800 on board the camera to get as much light on the fish as I could. Just angle your camera slightly so the flash dosn't reflect back at you and try and lock the fish in focus by pressing the shutter button halfway before taking the pic. The distance from the fish varies according to where they are swimming in the tank but unless you have a macro/zoom lense try and get as close as you can without scaring the fish. Hope this helps, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
