Fish Photos

[jackson6745]

Getting that perfect fish photo has been difficult for me. Every time that I go near the tank they think they're being fed and swim crazy Here's my attempt using a nikon d40 with kit lens (new camera will be my next upgrade)
Photos have been edited for sharpness, hue, and have been cropped.

Feel free to post your pics

Do you have to turn off the flash if taking pics with a DSLR?

No flash in these photos. There are all kinds of setting. I really don't know what I'm doing but these settings seem to work. Shutter 30-40, f5.6, iso 400

Nice photo rich! Try use fast shutter speed like 200-500 or higher if you cam available. Use the shutter priority mode on your cam this way you just changing the shutter everything else auto.

That's awesome John. That fish has been in captivity since 2004 I believe. I bought it from a member taking their tank down 'Maxpower2112' I wonder just how long they can live:fish::question: We had a great season overall, can't complain. You got to get some pics of your stuff on here

Was messing around with the old Nikon D40. Hard to get the proper white balance. Fish pics come out great, but fts and coral pics blah! A few from tonight.
