New Photos

newsalt · 11-01-2004, 08:07 PM

Here are a few photos I just took of some GSPs,Zoos, and others in my 50g. I'm not to good at this photography stuff so any pointers would be apprciated. I'm using a Kodak LS443 4 mega pixel camera. Also you'll notice that my zoos are extended. They are always like that. They never look closely attached to the LR like other photos I see of zoos. Anyone have any idea why?

Where are your zoos located? Are they under a ledge, or at the bottom? Thats interesting, I've never seen zoos do in full light that other than my yellow polyps.

Thats a good pic of the rics.

The second one does also look like GSP's. I have seen 2 different types of them, one has the light pink rubbery like mat, and the other seems to have dark-ish purple tubes on less of a mat like structure.

For the pics, do you have a tripod? If so, set the cam on the tripod, and turn the flash of and set it in macro. Also, use the timer. That should help with getting the pics to have a little more color, and also help the cam focus completly because without the flash (which it looks like you mighta used) the camera shutter speed slows way down. You can also play with the brightness/contrast, and white balance on the cam to fix the darkness like in the frogspawn pic. HTH, I'm no expert either, but those are some things that helped me out a lot.

The zoos are located in the bottom 3rd of the tank. The second GSP does have a grey rubbery mat.
