Your talent really shows. I enjoy looking at your shots.

The Unknown Milli seems to be turning orange. I'll let you know how it progresses. The pink is developing purple tips and the yellow is light yellow with green. They are all doing great. The other unknown frag looks like it will be something pink or purple. They really add interest to my tank.

I'm glad you are enjoying the frags and pics

Hi Alex, Those are great shots. What camera and lense did you use to get those shots? Can you till me your setting too? I got a nikon D200 and 105mm macro but I can't seem to get a shot that good.

 

[alexchern75]

hello, as far as the camera, I used a Canon Digital Rebel XT D-SLR with the 18-55mm ef-s lens with a closeup filter attached. as far as the settings, the all depend on the situation and lens I'm using. On the other hand your camera is the equivalent of a higher performance camera than mine so you shouldn't have too many issues getting good shots, specially with a 105mm macro lens. it does however take quite a bit of practice so get shooting! This website was very useful when I first started shooting...take a look:

and since you asked here is on example of settings on an older picture, sorry the picture is so big...

 

[alexchern75]

wow, I have to back up about 10' for that to look good, lol

 

[xinumaster]

Wow. very impressive. I need to learn how to make that kind of shots.
