Photo Editing.

Thanks for the info and greatly appreciate you taking the time to help out.

My pictures are normally 3000xxxx pixels (from a 6mp Nikon D50)prior to resize for posting and I should have posted a better picture here. Will try to play with that feature tonight.

On the side--anyone know what is a good macro lens for nikon dslr and is reasonable priced? Thanks.

That's a WEEEEE little picture Looks cool though, can you post a larger version of it?

 

[flameangel88]

Can you also post the original picture. Its nice and dark in the back. Thanks.

lol, nice file name..."art". Looks like a cool shot but too bad the clown is not in focus. Did you use the auto levels? It appears quite blue on my screen. Can you post the original? I'm wondering what "lots of tweaking" means. And I thought the blue Tang looked a little distracting I took a quick little crack at it myself.

Blazer88, thanks for your help. I need more practice and have to get a tripod to take the blur out.

The first thing would be to learn to use the "priority" modes of your camera. Even with a tripod if your shutter speed is too slow, you'll never catch an active clownfish. I find trying to shoot any moving fish with anything less than 1/60 is a waste.

I normally set my E/V to -.3 or -1.0 to speed up the shutter speed and get good pics of fish.
