LOL sorry for not explaining it right. for aperture the numbers are reverse the lower numbers like 4.0 is when the aperture is opened all the way ( more light) . this is why your picture is blurred and dark. open it to 4.0 . F stop 29 is i when the aperture ( the hole) like a pin hole barely any light is coming in ( less light) . f 20 is not enough light.
the ISO is bascially the film speed ( im old school lol) with digital cameras you have the pleasure of not worrying about film speeds etc.. because you can change it with on dial.
ISO 100-400 is like taking pictures outside I would not buy a film with a ISO of 800 or 1600 to take pictures in daylight , you will have so much Saturation and a grainy look everything will be too bright and colors would be off. vice versa I would not use ISO 100 for night shots nothing would come out really but blurred objects. I have used ISO 400 film on accident in daylight and it was nasty lol , and I used ISO 100 film on overcast days and the images where too dark.
If you have aim hit me up kerrysroxy I am at work ( pretending to work lol)

Sorry no aim. But Im also at work. hehe
I took a couple pics....
With the ISO at 100 or 200 the camera takes too long to take the pic and they come out blurry.
The best looking pic was with an ISO of 1600 and the F stop at 29.
This is the pic.
when you had ISO at 100-200 or even 400 did you change the f stop ?
Its hard to explain it online lol you have to give me all setting specs so I can see whats going wrong I need ISO F and shutterspeed and what setting you have it on M or any other dials settings
What kind of bulbs do you have on your tank ? i should have asked you thats also Do Oh

Glaudds and Roxy
Great info! Ive had the same camera for a couple months now and while I feel like I take decent pics with it, your info has made them better.
Now I adjusted the F and it looks much better.
I just need to get a tri-pod now.
That will cost you a frag of that beautiful colony!!!

Maybe it's my pre-parkinson's state...but I can never get a sharp picture with the macro lense without a tripod....I'm shaking too much!!
With my Canon G6, however, I can usually get some decent shots hand held.
:lol: well I have a steady hand I guess , If you can't keep hands steady then use tripod
well point n shoot cameras are different lol

More hijacking...AV priority, ISO 400, f22, shutter speed 0.5, AWB
the reason why you get darker pics when you set your ISO lower is because your aperture is a small pin hole right now.
take a look here
So when you set it on AV you can only change the f -stop
At f22 the less light is coming in so this is why ISO1600 is giving you a better picture. To break it down easy ISO is how fast the film will react to the light. so ISO 1600 basically means its going to catch as much light faster than a ISO film of 100 so this is why it seems better to have your ISO at 1600 with f 22. This is another reason why your shutterspeed is super fast !. Its only allowing a quick snap of light to come in since your ISO set at 1600.
You can meter the picture to get all the right readings. Minus ISO ( you have to see what speed it needs to be depending on ur aquarium lighting)
set camera to green rectangle then tap the shutterbutton lightly , you should hear a small beep beep sound. then just look at the cameras settings.
write these all down , then try all the same specs on Manual. You should get the best or better result out of that if the shutterspeed suggests something below 1/125 ( not sure the shutterspeeds on the rebel xti) then use a tripod. but if its like above 1/125 the you should be able to take pictures with hands.
And Glaudds I have no idea about AWB I am old school so I am just used to having the best film for the color balances
man I am going to have, to have classes now for beginners guide to SLRs:lol:
O and what are the f stops on the lenses on yours and yingers

here's another one... this thread is turning into a pretty good macro pic thread.
And a big thanks to jose for the mummy's eye!
what was the settings at ? looks pretty good but the coral is out of focus.
look at these pics of my hawk they look good but the fish is not in focus on either pic LMAO
Pics where taken with my point n shoot samsung NV 10 on macro setting and I zoomed in some.

OK I just have to jump in here. Stick with the lower ISOs if you can. Always shoot on manual. Keep the glass of the lens parallel to the glass of the tank.

This is with my 50mm prime at 1.4. The bokeh of this lense is breathtaking IMO.
