Rebirth (the end)

Re: Rebirth

Thanks Ed and Mark.

The wood was light for a couple of days until got water logged, it was only 3-4 days for it to stay put.

My local MA has some pretty good shrimp in at the moment...

I came home with 6 Yellow flame sakura shrimp. I don't know a great deal about them as theres not a lot on the net.

Re: Rebirth

Looking great Ian.

In the first pic your exposure looked better than in the second. However, 1/13sec will give you blurry pics. F8 would be ok I reckon, giving you a few stops of light.
 
Re: Rebirth

trying out all these iphone apps lol and came across this one called 'photosynth', the quality isn't the best, but it gives a good wide angle feeling.

Re: Rebirth

you are making a very nice tapestry there. going to look stunning in a few weeks.
 
Re: Rebirth

Great-looking 'scape, and nice pics mate.

About the photos; Mark is, of course, correct about the blurry photos with 1/13 sec, but only if you're not using a tripod and have moving fish/plants.

I often use slow shutter speeds with a tripod, especially if there are no fish in the tank. I turn the filter off, which prevents the plants from moving. The smaller aperture will give you a greater depth of field which is usually more desirable for a full-tank shot.

On my monitor your white balance also looks a little too blue/green. Try using a different white balance setting i.e. with a higher Kelvin rating. This will tone down the blue/green and bring out more yellow/red, warming up the images. If you have live view this can help choose an appropriate setting before actually taking the shot.

I've not seen the Photosynth iPhone app. To be honest it looks over-sharpened for my taste but I bet it looks great on the phone itself. Does it give you a wider angle than using the standard iPhone camera? Have you tried Camera+ yet?

Cheers Darren, this tank is a real slow grower. I'm going to up the light when i rescape.

@ George thanks for the advice, i have had the slr for about a year now and still trying different stuff out. Still far from any good lol! I shall keep your advice in mind when i get the cam out again. I have a T5 light ballast in the shed, will have to get it out at some point.

The photosynth app has an edit option and i did sharpen the pic.

heres a pic i took earlier when walking the dog

you can take a full panoramic shot which is pretty cool.

I have bought Cam+ as well, i wish i'd bought this in the first place, takes really good pic for 59p!
 
Re: Rebirth
