amiidae's new problem !!!

**amiidae** · 01-04-2006, 10:13 PM

hi guys,

see, this species is native of deep lake. Hence, they required dim lighting in order to show their best.

so in my aquarium setup, moon light (those blue tube) is used inorder to bring out their colors.

That's where my problem started... I've got off focus, underexposed & dull color pic even when i use flash.

so what is the best method to shoot these ?

Thanks

ben

I would probably still use flash.

Cheers,

I think the last image you posted is the nicest out of all of them.

Anyway like bro domvonn mentioned, try experimenting with different ways and see what comes out of it

They are not a slow swimmer.

I guess I really need to try with various settings just like what illusionist had mentioned.
