>Neat looking, I don't think my fish have teeth!! Not that I'd get shots like that anyway!!
dc, I think most fish species have teeth, but many of them have very small teeth, or teeth that have grown together so that they don't make very good photosubjecs. Maybe you can go to an saltwater aquarium shop and see if they have some fish with nice big teeth, then ask and see if the owner lets you take some pics of it?
>Absolutely cool pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you like them ABahn!
>Sweet picture!
Thanks got chow!
>I have a 995 and I've never caught a shot like that. I'm somewhat versed in the settings and how to use the camera, but I'm still not getting shots like you. Good job! Any quick tips? I will try the manual focus but unless I have a small aperture, I've found it hard to grab focus of things that I want to. Maybe it's just skill of seeing how close you can get to the focus range.
Got chow, the lownmower photo was not cropped, only downsized, so at the resolution I posted there wouldn't have made any significant difference if it was shot with a 995 instead. In my opinion the 995 is a great camera. Start using the manual focus, it helps a lot when you take photos of moving subjects. When you shoot extreme closeups, make sure the zoom is in the middle of the zoomrange, because that is where the closest focusing distance is on the 995. Move the camera forward and backwards to see where the focus is. When it comes to post processing
Neat Image is great for noise reduction and PhotoShop is great for correcting color balance and levels.
>awesome pics
Thanks lilbuddy.
>I love that Royal Gramma, mean looking.....
jwm2k3, although that was just a small yawn, my Gramma have a real fighting spirit, so I guess it's temper is matching it's look.
>Great pictures Max! Keep working towards the inifinite patience and show us more.
SlowBoat, I don't know if I want infinite patience, because if I did have it, I'd probably die from starvation sitting infront of an aquarium trying to get the perfect shot. I remember the first time I got to borrow a digital camera. I spent 12 hours straight shooting with it in my aquariumroom and using an AC adapter. I didn't pause for more than a few seconds to move to an other tank when there was something there that caught my eye, so except for the time somewhere in the middle of the photoshoot when I had to go and turn on the lights again (when the timer had shut them off) I didn't pause more than to delete the bad photos... Then when I couldn't hold my hands steady any longer I realised my bloodsugar was a bit low, since I hadn't eaten in 14 hours. Time does fly when you have fun.
