deathzone Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Currently my favourite fish in my 4ft. Still only young but love the colour. Has had a little photoshop work done, to enhance colour but not too much. Tell me what you think. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmxican Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 did you use a flash or is that tank lighting only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathzone Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 No flash was used, just tank lighting and an ISO of about 1000 to get te shutter speed up and give a nice bright exposure, 1/50 shutter was used to remove as much motion as possible while letting enough light in. The tank does consist of 4 T5 15000K lights so with all 4 on it is rather bright. here is the un-edited version. Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxican Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 i thought it might be an overhead flash but 4 T5 15000K lights will explain it. you might already know these things but ill say it anyway. using a lower iso will give you a clearer pic with a less grainy look. i try to use ISO100 all the time with a 540ez speedlight set at 1/32 power. also what F. were you using? using a higher apperture will give you more depth of field which will put more of the fish in focus. i try to use an f. around the middle of what the lense is capable of to get the most detail. anyways nice pic mate look forward to seeing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathzone Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah I kept the ISO high to get a bit better exposure, I think the 40D seems to handle the high ISO ok. The F stop used was about 6.3, I like shallow depth of field in these sort of shots. If im taking landscapes etc... I use an aparture setting about f18-22 really depends on the situation I guess. Thanks for the comments, I will be posting more shots up on here shortly. In the mean time you could look at my WEBSITE. It is fairly amature, but I like to play around with photogrophy. Peter.
