Wowee-wow-wow-wow! Beautiful!

Here are some pics of Mushroom Mountain along with some close ups of the new Ric Roc. It is actually 2 separate pieces of rock that I have positioned together at the base of Mushroom Mountain. The Blue Ric from the original roc came unattached recently so he is in a cup of rubble attaching himself. Then I will mount him back on the rock. I also have a stripe shroom attaching in another cup that you can see in the first pic. The last pic is with flash.
As you can tell I am still having problems with the depth of field. I cannot get all the rics in focus at the same time

is the pentagram working?

goldenmean · 12-31-2007, 07:08 PM

LOL!
I think so. the green ric has split into two!

sasquatch · 12-31-2007, 07:21 PM

goldenmean · 12-31-2007, 07:29 PM

Thanks Sas!
Happy New year to you too!
And to everyone else too!

BarbMazz · 12-31-2007, 10:04 PM

Jeff, your rics are just the BEST. I love how you arrange things in your tank. I sure hope I'm able to be as creative as you are.

Happy Healthy New Year to you and yours!

Very nice Jeff!

goldenmean · 01-04-2008, 11:54 PM

I have been working with the new camera - specifically on Depth of Field
All the Rics are in focus
but the pic is too dark.

Craig Manoukian · 01-05-2008, 09:46 AM

Still nice!

Dentoid · 01-05-2008, 10:00 AM

Jeff, you can download photos to www.phixr.com and adjust the digital image. It's free. Give it a try.

goldenmean · 01-05-2008, 10:30 AM

Scott I have photoshop but about all I know to do with it is resize for the web.
Alonzo is the photoshop expert. He is going to have to give me more lessons.
Thanks fot the link tho. I can use it at work for sure!

Jeff, the pictures are looking great! Have you tried using larger aperture and/or slower shutter speeds to let more light in? You might have to use a tripod so pictures don't get blurry at slower speeds. Larger aperture will make the field of focus smaller (blurry in front of and behind what you're focusing on).

Melanie · 01-05-2008, 11:49 AM

Great tip octoman!

Love following along your thread as usual Jeff.

goldenmean · 01-05-2008, 12:17 PM

Hey Mark,
I have just been learning about aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
Ben's Newbie Guide to Digital SLR Photography - Canon Digital Photography Forums
Last night I was experimenting with aperture trying to get a bigger depth of field/ field of focus.
I alway use a tripod when taking tank pics even before I got the SLR camera.

I have more to learn and need much more practice. I sure am glad this is a digital camera. I couldn't afford to learn this shotting on film.
