I definately would like to, but the photos are only 640x480 pixels. Don't the photos for the competition have to be larger or something? Or is 640x480 fine?

f.Photographs must be a minimum of 640px long by 480px high at 72dpi, but a higher resolution is preferred, maximum file size 2mb

Thanks Caryl :)

Just went and took 35 2MB (8MegaPixel) pics :o

I love that camera. I used to have it.

Now I have the H10, but i preferred the H3.

I only just figured out in the last few days how to get my pics looking somewhat like yours phoenix - instead of using the ISO mode like I usually do, I put it on the Programme Auto mode (not Auto Ajustment - that's different) and set the ISO to adjust automatically and then set it to 'vivid colour'. Now the colour of my pics is stronger, and makes them look a lot nicer. The lastest pics I just posted were using this setting.

I usually find after I've downloaded them onto the computer I need to lighten the pics, but I make them look exactly like how it would appear if you were looking into the tank. So the colours aren't distorted/changed :)

Some people skip that stage :lol:

The competition is supposed to be anonymous entries Joe :-?

No need to do that. Just stop telling people you have entered :wink:

Some can guess some fish owners anyway.

Sorry it's been a while since I've updated this thread, but I've been busy with college lately and haven't had the time to take pics. My male currently looks like this:

S03677-1_Apistogramma_macmasteriVILLAVICENCIO.jpg

Except he doesn't have as much red on his body, but his colour is still developing. He's still only a little 3-4cm fish, so still has a lot of growing to do. He should look like this when he is older:

Here's my male. Sorry the photo is blury in some parts.

Notice how the first few fin rays of the dorsal fin are becoming elongated, and the red is stretching further down his body? :P
