Good idea, never thought of that :thumbup: :thumbup:

:text-thankyou: thanks again for the suggestion, no doubt I will be doing some as suggested in the future. The whole point of this series was natural, no extra lighting etc, sorry if that part wasn't clear :thumbup: :thumbup:

Simon, I know what you mean, I was only playing with these images, I kept the unedited RAW files so I can play more :mrgreen: Thanks George, I wanted to shot in full sun, good job we had a nice day not long after the flowers opened, I wanted to use just natural light to create the hot spots...

Thanks :thumbup: Just a standard Canon 400D with a Sigma 28-80mm Macro lens, I really do need a better lens, but finding a good not hugely expensive one is a task and a half :crazy:

Did these last week, I have been trying to improve with the kit I have, learning all the time :crazy:

Stunning picture Mark, beautiful. Seeing your pictures here really inspires me (aquascaping and photography) Could you please start some tutorials on 'how too' with the photography 8)

No, 2nd pic for me too, I like that its not so yellow, TBH I hadn't really noticed how yellow the tank actually looks :oops:

Ran this through CS3 just playing with it to get used to it. Pic was taken a few weeks ago, at a hotel we stayed at after going for a visit to TGM :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Not sure Arron, would expect it would, will check when I get home. Right I have the same shot, one is done through PS5 the other through CS3(remembering this is the 1st time I have used it :shock: ) Which looks better, I know which one I chose

Cool, is CS3 similar to PS then? is it as easy to use? I have been thinking of getting some lights to increase light in the tank when doing pictures, I saw the 'Studio Lighting' thread that Dan put up and that got me thinking :wink: JOHNNY

JPEG. Never used RAW wouldn't know where to start :shock: :shock: I use Photoshop 7 normally just for cropping etc. Can RAW files be opened in PS? JOHNNY

Thanks Dave :) The whole tank has a yellow cast, the lights seem to give that kind of hue off, the WB is set to auto, so I'll try with a non moving subject in the tank to see how that all works out :D As for the focus, they all look perfect when I take them :?: :?: :?: must be my glasses...

oh and a couple of tetra's:D Any thoughts on how to get better with pics? I have standard Juwel lighting to get these nothing more. Shots were done with a Canon 400D some with a Canon 90-300 for the really shy fish and Sigma 28-80 (with macro) for the close in shots.

Thanks Dan, will have to 'borrow' them and see if I can get some better shots :D

Without wanting to sound dim :wink: could i use something like site lights like this..http://www.screwfix.com/prods/14558/Lig ... ite-Light# I ask as 1. I have no experience with studio lighting and 2. I have access to lights like these, anything I can do to improve my tank photography JOHNNY

Nice! A few more from around the pond!

Took last week at a hotel we stayed in, jut after visiting TGM :)

thanks for the kind comments :D :D :D :D JOHNNY

Awesome fish, it rocks :D :D

Just a update of my other Rio180, its a jungle style, not to everyone's :lol: :lol: :lol: taste, but with a hectic life and 7 fully planted and 3 breeding tanks to take of.... well its just easier, the fish like it too Cheers, JOHNNY

I wish I had the time:) We have breeding Kribs, BN Plecs, Apistogramma's, Cherry and Crystal shrimps, Corys all breeding, all helps with the bills when I can trade in at the shop. Not done the plant nursery yet, still trying to decide if it's really worth it, I do have a tank where I grow on...

Tell me about it :roll: got another 5 empty :shock:

yes thats what I had been thinking, I would need to rehome the rest of the fish in the tank so I had the room, I will speak to him next time i'm down there

Thanks :D 9 at the moment :roll:

No Ed, but it turns out I had 2 males, lost one of them :( I need a female but Richard can't seem to ID one in their tank, so will wait and see :mrgreen:

L091 Betta smaragdina Sparkling Gourami Hope you like :D :yes: JOHNNY

thank you both very much :mrgreen:

few updated pics

Beautiful fish, love him:) what tank do you have him in with what sort of filtration? JOHNNY

Unfortunately we lost the male a few weeks back, but the good news is before he passed he did manage to do the funcky chicken with his Mrs and we have some babies :D not a huge amount but at least 3 coming upto 1"TL. We have also had the Trifasciata spawning too. We have also re done there...

Latest pic of my Rio community:) and one of my fighter tanks JOHNNY

Beautiful betta, nice capture's too. very nice JOHNNY

not had any sucess yet! i have trifasciata in the same tank, they have spawned 4 times now, no survivers from the first 3, still got 3 weeks old ones at the moment, thinking of taking the baenschi's out, but i'm waiting to see if the dither's(pencils and hatchets) have any effect on the setup, I...

A few half decent pics of my Baenschi :D hope you like, these two hardly ever come to the front of the tank, so I'm pleased to have captured them. Regards, JOHNNY

£15 each for corys4u.co.uk Cheers for the kind comments :D JOHNNY

:shock: Makes complete sense to me :? but I am a bit odd. I know its not the typical type of tank on here, somedays I wish I could do them like the great guys and gals here, but I can't so i do madddddddd:) JOHNNY

This is a before pic of my 90ltr apisto tank. Taken at the end of Jan, had just upgraded the lights and been ferts dosing for a month, adding easycarbo too. and, this was last night. pretty pleased with the results so far. chaos :shock: JOHNNY

I have some thread algae shots, do you want them via email? JOHNNY

Beautiful, I have just got some of these, anyone used these as a floating plant, i believe that youu can? Cheers, JOHNNY

Spot on! Thats exactly it, thanks very much for the ID :D Regards, JOHNNY

Looks very similar to that, I would have thought it was something I bought from Tropica, do they do it? had it in my tanks for ages. JOHNNY

Can anyone ID the plant at the back of the 40ltr Planted Nano Fighter Tank , the long green leaf one, it grows very quicky takes over in no time. Cheers JOHNNY
