NanoCube-boy-- what camera are you using? This article will give you some ideas on how to improve your picture taking skills.
Carib- this article has some good info on image posting and hosting sites.
Holler if you need clarification on anything.

I'm using a Sony Camera Dsc-p8 with 3x optical zoom, 3.2 mega pixels.

Check out my webpage, this is the best I can do with the camera.

Those are pretty darn good, especially considering the limitations of that camera.

 

[NanoCube-boy]

Well, yea, Itry my best with the camera, but it looks burry, I'm not sure why? I adjust the ISO, but iono either what's going on. I even place on macro mode, but still not as good at the other guys.

 

[gregr]

The most common causes of blurry pictures are slow shutter speeds and shooting at an angle into the tank. Using a tripod and shooting squarely into the tank will improve things in most cases. If you can put that camera in something like a sports mode (pets? kids?) it will bias the settings towards faster shutter speeds.

 

[NanoCube-boy]

hmm.. I guess I have to read up on the instruction to speed up my shutter. I'm not even show I speed up the shutter. I heard tripod helps a lot, but I think it's a little too much just to get some pictures of tank.

 

[gregr]

You can always put a chair and some books or whatever in front of the tank and prop the camera on that. Use the self-timer on the camera so it doesn't jiggle when you press the button. Your camera doesn't have shutter speed priority but it does have a "fast shutter" scene mode- give that a try.

tripods make a huge difference as does shutting down your pumps. check out Marc's (melev) home page for lots of good photog tips.

 

[NanoCube-boy]

Thanks guys, I'm going to read my manual and see if I can controlmy shutter speed.

I have a question about white balancing with mixed lighting. I have 2 10K bulbs and 2 actinics...how do i properly balance this? I can set the white balance in my camera to any Kelvin i want, but I can't get a perfect image setting to either of those two.

Thanks!

How can I make my photos to show on the thread?

Hey there. If you look at your picture in your gallery, under the image there is a text list. One of the items is "use this in image tag." Highlight that text, right click, and select copy. Then paste that in the thread with [ img] & [ /img] on each end (without the spaces I put in). I fixed one of them above.

 

[dancewithethan]

Skip,

Thanks for the information.
