[maescobar]

Hello,

Some months ago, I bought a Sony Reflex alpha 200.

I would like to hear your comments about this camera, because I use it to take some pics to my tank and I have to be honest.... I really dont like the pics.:thumbdown

I have seen pictures that you show in your threads and they are really beautifull, but I can not to take that kind of pictures.

would you be nice to help me and give me some tips.

watting your comments.

Regards
Arturo

That's a good camera but photographing under aquarium lighting can be very challenging. Try shooting in RAW format so that you can adjust your white balance in software. Using a tripod and turning off your pumps during shooting can also be very helpful.

Try to shoot directly through the glass, not at an angle.

Thanks beerguy

I hope following your tips can take beautifull pics as all of you take.... You mean that I could not take pics under aquarium lighting?.... then should I need to take pics only with flash?.

 

[BlueCorn]

No. Use the aquarium lighting. I'm just saying that it is challenging.

Cheers

I have to train taking pics, if I have not fine results maybe i'll have to get a new one like nikon or cannon.

Post some of the picture you are taking...I don't think switching to nikon or canon is going to make a lick of difference.
