Thanks Chris,
Taking good aquarium pictures amounts to knowing a few tricks.
1. Go digital
2. Get as many pixels as you can afford. Generally, the higher mega pixel cost more.
3. Use a Macro lens.
4. Pay attention to the focal length of the lens. (Most amatuer photographers try to get close-up shots by getting too close to their subject, winding up with an out of focus picture.) All digitals tell you when you are in focus, pay attention to the camera.
5. Shooting through glass and Acrylic with flash will produce flash reflections (bounce). Be aware of the necessity to shoot at angles.
6. With digital it's easy to shoot multipal shots. Utilize that freedom.
7. Practise, practise, practise. I shoot hundreds of pictures you never see, just to come up with a few I post.
I will do an update in a few days. My
PC fried it's self and it is in the Geek Squad shop right now. It's ugly!!! I got the dreaded Microsoft Blue Screen of death.
Luckily, I have my lap top to stay tuned to the pulse of TR and e-mail.
Dick
