So this set me on a journey playing with settings and trying to get better more relastic pictures. Please be aware i dont have a full on slr camera, i have a whats classed as bridge camera, lots of mannuals settings but a fixed lens, so don't go getting all super techy on me
So i took a load of pics to see the difference, these are all at f2.8, iso 200 i just changed the White balance and then later on played with the Exposure Value (EV) using EV Bracketing.
Here is some of the pics, which looks better?
Sunlight mode
Flo Tube HO
Bulb
Auto White Balance
I personally think that this looks the best:
Which is Flo tube, at -1EV
Is there any pointers anyone can give?
cheers

Hi Andy,
The 'scape is developing very nicely indeed. Congrats!
May I ask what White Balance setting you're using, please? On my computer the images seem very blue/green.
I hope you don't mind, but I've adjusted one image in Photoshop CS3. Does it look much different to you?
I said:
Thanks for your comments.
I dont mind at all, this pic was taken using AWB, however it may of been the fact that the camera was is "fish mode" yes my camera has a fish mode. It seems to have a "green enhance" which sometimes looks good and others does not. Your pic defo looks more natural tones. I will have a play and see what i can come up with. But please be aware you may get a PM asking more questions
