punman Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Just sharing a picture of one of my mpimbwes. I bought him from someone 18 months ago on this site at about 5-6 inches in size. He is now approaching 12 inches. Fed on New Life Spectrum and the odd frozen shrimp. Taken with the Nikon D50 I bought in the summer - mostly I use it for landscapes.

secretlaw Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Really nice picture. I am wondering how you can make the background black? or It is the real background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punman Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 On my 180 gallon tank I use black felt with velcro. I have painted a couple of smaller tanks blue, but with a tank so big I did not want something so permanent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFISHGUY Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Super pix. Large tank shots I find to be very difficult but you don't seem to have any troubles - nice work both on the pics and the fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Nice fish, and great shot. Congrats on big daddy's recent spawn as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punman Posted December 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Nice fish, and great shot. Congrats on big daddy's recent spawn as well. Thanks to all who have shown interest. Yes, I don't much like taking full tank shots - I've tried tripod, no flash and the fish blur. With digital, at least nothing is wasted. I try for angle shots to avoid reflections (flash not detachable), then I do lots of cropping of unwanted stuff to the side, top, and bottom of the picture.
