George just cave in and buy one :greedy: , they appear to be amazing and thats not me taking anything away from Mr Evans Skills! We could give him a my daughters toy camera and he would still produce works of art! and whilst i am on..........................FLOOD that tank! LOL must stop with...

Looks awesome on my "non Samsung" device. The retina display handles it well. Great work Mark, your videos are some of the best on the web.

John - as you know i have ben following your Flickr page for a while now, and your photos are amazing! Top Notch Sir! They look great on the via the Apple Tv on the 46" Tv in the lounge! Keep it up, kingfisher pics are my fav at the moment! Andy

Lets see a proper movie then Mark, come on put your back into it!!

Aquadream - simply stunning! The sharpness is stunning. How about your show us a pic of your camera setup for these kinds of photos, would prove very interesting! Please share more!

love it!

I was basing that on George's 80cm comment :mrgreen:

great looking plant Mark, you just need a 1m deep tank now :)

George that first picture is amazing, so much too take in. Amazing shots Andy

would this be classed as a HDR shot? great pic by the way!

Cheers Tony, good tip with using the black background. I do find it much harder to shoot photos with the MH and i think your bang on with the NA Green effecting the white balance. The light is stunning at highlighting greens in the tank, but to date i haven't taken a photo which i believe shows...

I am with you, i will play with the iso and see what the does Its a canon and its not an underwater mode its an actual taking photos of you aquarium mode :geek: , albeit my other canon has underwater mode and I used it when diving in mauritius, it was awesome! Cracking pic by the way! :thumbup:

Ok, I moved this from my Lounge tank journal as i feel its more relevant here; Here is the original pic Quote George: I said: 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...

and your gonna sell this lens? call me stupid for asking.......but why?

Good move and if you ever treat yourself to an L-series lens they weigh a ton! The legs are stiffer than your imagine and have the rubbery/grippy bumper around each nodule. Its quite clever where you can put your camera with one. The legs bend and twist easily and you can simply scrunch it...

Hi Pest Control I have the SLR Gorilla Pod and yes its a cool bit of kit. Some tips for you: 1. Choose the one that suits your camera i.e SLR one or SLR-ZOOM if you like a big lens. 2. They do grip onto things well i have fastened mine to gate posts, door handles etc. 3. Also used on uneven...

Sounds Great dude! I will drop you a text soon :thumbup: I will have to dust off the walking boots!

Excellent Pics Mr G!! Tell you what........... you take me walking in Snowdonia and i will get you Kitesurfing! Andy

WOW! They are great. That blue dragon fly is awesome!

Photography people, what are you opinions on the use of cir-polarozing filters when taking photos of tanks? Good/bad? use/don't use? thoughts when using them? Thanks Andy

Ok i will admit when i am completly wrong! :oops: :lol: :lol:

Nope its so rooted now, no chance of that me thinks!

It really does look stunning, when i first saw it being planted i have to admit i didn't like/understand it. However i was wrong and just lacked vision. The tank now is really something quite unique and your right George the pruning they are making is only minimal and the rock work almost looks...

Yeah i think Jim has a ride on lawnmower! :lol:

Yeah i think Jim has a ride on lawnmower! :lol:

:lol:

Whilst at TGM the other day i snapped this picture with my Iphone and it turned out ok. For those who haven't been to the shop ever/in a while, this the end view of the 10ft tank which was scaped by Jim. When taking this photo, I am looking down the entire length of the tank, which is all HC...

Excellent pics clive! Calm vs storm does it for me!

Hey Mark That pic with and without the back light is really useful and you have just sold me on setting it up on my tank! Thanks Andy

Good pic, is that a second in the background?

This one is a scape just waiting to happen! I am sure you could create this one! I just love the detail and textures and colours on this, the star type moss is truely stunning! Great Inspiration! :thumbup:

No its the amazing depth of field on his macro lens! :crazy:

Quality as always! I like the second one best.

Nice pic, especially with point and shoot! :thumbup:

truly outstanding! Actually almost stuck for words! How can you top that? :clap:

Adam You are always going to get a vast array of opinions as everybody has a good/bad story about every brand in the world! I am a canon man myself and have never had a bad one! I think you should buy a camera that takes AA batteries, coz you can buy them cheaply anywhere, you can get them...

George, Its defo affordable, my camera is not quite as expensive :eh: as Marks and you can see the difference, but my Camera can now be bought for approx £350. Things like vimeo.com help as you can share these huge files in the full glory. On mine 44mins of video = 16gb or 20seconds is a...

Mark you got me playing now! no macro lens, but shooting in HD. :eh: My kitchen tank: http://www.vimeo.com/8727320

Aaron Very useful i will have a play with that tonight, i have never really played with the metering settings, i used to be an turn it to Auto type photographer but in the last 12months i have been playing with AV, M, P, etc I understand what your saying there George about the sensor, i am...

Hello Can someone give me some pointers/advice please? How do i control the brightness, and the areas that almost look white with too much light in my photos. I would like to know, what do i adjust on my camera, to get a better less bright/over exposed photo. I have tinkered with a few...

Stu Not as nice pic as yours, but check the temperature! :crazy: It was a bit nipply! :lol: My garden: Some top pics on here! My fav's so far: Dans HDR George's RIver and Aarons snow bikes! :lol: :lol:

Dan, Good pics!!! especially the HDR one.

Paul, i suspected that some of you northern boys might have some good pics, get them posted up!

Now thats proper snow flyfisherman! :thumbup: More snow pics!

The view from my office window, no snow 15mins ago, snowing like crazy now!

Come on then avid photographers who has got the best snow related pic? :thumbup: :?: Good/bad/funny/taken with your phone, get them posted!

Well done! :eh: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mark one word "bitchin!" :wink: Andy

pic not displaying properly works if you click link if you copy the direct link on the left off your imageshack page and then click Img button when posting your thread on UKAPS, and paste the web address in between it works like this: Nice pic by the way! :thumbup:

Leah thats well cool! :geek:

Ok leave it with me, might take a few days but i am sure i can get an answer Are you MAC or PC? Will have a look at the 5d vids also! :thumbup:

Either that or I ask my friend who is a full on movie shooter editor and general guru what he recommends! And he owes me a favour! :)

Yeah there is loads to learn in the world HD video, i only play at it. I don't really know that much. I just know that my MAC helps with a lot of it :lol: :lol: I get frustrated like you with all the different levels of HD display quality! Why cant they all look as good as each other?

Mark Stunning! That's a good sharing portal never heard of vimeo before? may give it a go myself. This is one of my HD videos edited using iMovie (very basic shows quality) http://gallery.me.com/hartandy#100441 Let me know if you can see this, as sometimes PC users struggle.

The only challenge with HD videos, is the physical size of files. In full HD with Stereo sound 1920x1080p i can fill a 16gb memory card in about 43mins a 15 second clip is 72mb! Try emailing that to a mate! :eh: The detail is stunning, although sharing these things at the moment is more...

have you been drinking? :lol: :lol: Looks like something off most haunted!

John Your tank looks great! :thumbup: :thumbup: :clap: What about some spec's? :geek: What about some close up pics! Sorry to be so demanding! :crazy: Andy

1st one is an excellent pic, but i love the moss etc on the second one! Top notch!

wow that's a lot of moss! :wink:

Hello Great to see some, they seem to be very hard to get hold of, where do you get yours from? they look great, what kind of conditions are you keeping them in, anything special? Andy

thanks Stu! ebsy it is then! How do you find using your flash-off mount when shooting aquariums, any tips?

Who has used one? The canon one is £50, but seen on ebay equivs for £12. Will there be much difference, i normally always buy genuine equipment, but surely in this case a cable is a cable? Anybody got one?

yipeeeeeee my 430EXII has just arrived! Thanks snail mail only a few days late for my birthday! Just got to work out how to use it now! :thumbup:

:text-coolphotos: that is wicked! if not slightly scary! :lol:

andy picks jaw up off floor!! :thumbup: They are very cool pictures, that lens is wicked. Opens up a whole different world! Do you need lots of light with the lens, i.e are you using your pro lights etc?

John, This thread is spooky! I was just about to type the same question to the guys! Thanks for beating me to it! i tried a 580 on my Canon powershot SX1 IS (which i think you said you had owned when i met you at the Oliver knott day) and the difference was really incredible. :mrgreen: I...

Still tinkering!! Will post some pictures shortly. I have to produce something good or i will never here the end of it! :oops:

You cant go worng with Wh*rehouseexpress, i have purchased lots of good stuff from them, although you could try the http://www.digital-cameras.com/ (they occasionally have a good deal) or i have had some stuff from http://www.parkcameras.com/. Amazon is always worth a check though.

I can see i need to spend more time preparing rather than just pulling the camera out and snapping away. Will have a play over the weekend.

Thanks, some excellent comments and i get what you saying about the second pic, it does feel like i have taken a photo of the green eheim pipes! Its really made me think. I also take on board what your saying about the first pic, it goes back to the old saying its all about composure! The dirty...

Hey guys! Just wondered can you give me some advice, how can i improve when taking pics of my tank and livestock. Are there a rules that i should follow? I took this pic a few days ago and i am fairly happy, but i want to take better pic's and experiment more. Taken using a Canon Powershot...

After my recent trip to TGM and seeing your 1800l G-man i reckon you could be onto a winner! Do it!! I would love to see a shoal of cardinals that big. Actually thinking on that scale can you imagine all the species of fish you could have!

I am sure its probably a well guarded secret, but how about a couple of pics of how you set-up your lights and background.i.e a behind the scenes photo. I would really like to try and achieve some great pics like this but i am not sure were to begin? Thanks AndyH

I spent a huge amount of time just standing there watching, it was breathtaking and the fact there many places to view made it all the better especially when you had one of the large windows to yourself. I have loads of video. FYI you can eat in a underwater restaurant and have a bedroom that...

These were taken on a recent trip to The Atlantis Palm in Dubai, apparently its 11 million litres! :shock: :shock: It was truly breath taking, every time you looked you saw something different! Hey Graeme could you scape it? :wink:

yes please!

Great pics George! Can you explain how you use your flash in these pics? Andy
