Re: Aquagreen (longer vid p10)

Thanks Chris, theres some moss on that bit of wood now, just to see if i can do half emersed and half submersed.

Looks great, love the TPN shot

Really nice scape.

Re: Aquagreen (pearling)

The tank is pearling like a good un tonight, i have ramped the C02 up a little and it's made a load of difference. Added some 1-2 grow moss in there as well, along with some Staurogyne to break up the Glosso a little. Heres a few pics

The Staurogyne appears to be settling well.

Re: Aquagreen (pearling)

Awesome pics Ian, can you give us image stats ? lens, focal length, aperture etc ? It would be useful for rookies like me to get some hints on such accurate and crisp close up photography. :)
 
Re: Aquagreen (pearling)

thanks Chris!

first pic = Canon EOS 550D, Exposure 0.008 sec (1/125), Aperture f/5.6, Focal Length 50 mm, ISO Speed 400

second pic = Canon EOS 550D, Exposure 0.02 sec (1/50), Aperture f/5.6, Focal Length 55 mm, ISO Speed 400

third pic = Canon EOS 550D, Exposure 0.008 sec (1/125), Aperture f/5.6, Focal Length 55 mm, ISO Speed 1600

and a couple of tips from Mark, regarding lighting.
 
Re: Aquagreen (pearling)

Lol, you gonna share the lighting tips too ? How close were you and what lens ? :)
 
Re: Aquagreen (pearling)

the first 2 were with the canon nifty 50 and the third was with the kit lens. As for lighting, it's about putting the extra light at the right angle without using flashes and stuff.
 
Re: Aquagreen (pearling)

OK. I guess I will stick to trial and error and find out what angle works cos Im none the wiser, lol.
 
Re: Aquagreen (pearling)

Great Pix Ian, the close up shot of the pearling is awesome. very reminiscent of one of george's old shots.
 
Re: Aquagreen (pearling)

thanks Tim, i will try and get a vid done next week at some point. Thank you for the interest.

Gill, thanks mate, i'm still trying to master this camera business, it take quite a few shots to get one like that lol!

Managed to get hold of some shrimp today that were labelled as Amanos...however, i'm sure you'll all agree that they aren't amanos. They're some weird and wacky colours. A couple are buried as well. Anyone ID them?? They look like Tigers to me???

Re: Aquagreen (Shrimp ID?)

Hybrids of some sort? Look pretty nice tho, a bit different.

Re: Aquagreen (Shrimp ID?)

Defitintely cross bred. Weird!

Probably stronger from the cross breeding and more prolific :lol:

Evolution huh!
 
Re: Aquagreen (Shrimp ID?)

Looks like assorted zebra, red and blue malaya shrimp mix to me they are from India hard water region
