Enjoy my fishes

I did! Thankyou

Looks like the use of a smaller aperture has allowed the flash to highlight the fish against the background - I've had trouble doing this, as the normally lighter background has tended to overwhelm the fish.

You've given me some motivation to have another go

Nice.

I'd need to clean my glass before I could get any clear shots.

WW- Nice work these are some tidy aquarium shots, almost feels like you in with the fish. Do the fish mind the flash ?

Went shooting my burning matches (for the recent challenge) I realised I'd been scaring the scales of my Betta who was only a foot away pyrotechnics and 3 foot from the camera.

Very nice Willy

Looks better then the aquarium books I have at home.

Hi Willy, got to be happy with those pics so yeh they look ok and came out well.

Thanks Guys

Glad you like them! Fish are one of my passions

Seems to be a bit like that at our place too.

The 'tank lust' is nearly as bad as the 'lens lust'.

Our "big" tank is now considered too small and we have a bigger one on the way.

Nice Tangenikens you have there Willy

Excellent photos! I have a particular interest in marine fish too..

How about shooting some coral and anemone next time?

He's going to have fun trying to do that in that tank - although I don't think the coral and anemone would like it... They prefer salt water

These fish here are Cichlids, from Africa - Lake Tanganyika if I'm not wrong. I have Cichlids too, although mine (other than a Frontossa which is also from L.Tanganyika) are from Lake Malawi - also in Africa. They are fresh water, not too different to normal 'tropicals' - but much nicer and more interesting fish to keep than your standard guppie!

Yup African cichlids from Lake Tanganyika. I will try and find some corals and other things to shoot in coming weeks.

Cheers for nice compliments guys

Steve

I thought they are saltwater marine fish! there you go, I learnt something new everyday.

I have 2 x amphiprion ocellaris (aka clown fish) and a few bubble anemone. Will post up some photos when I have time

Hi Scott,

some nice fish you've got there and also very well photographed.
It may be my eyes or my monitor or an (in)accurate observation:
It would seem to me that the fish could do with a tiny little fill flash.
I think they could benefit from a little bit of extra lighting compared to their background.

Cheers,
CD

p.s.: are you going to Skyfire on Saturday ?
