Dmaan. Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 NICE TANK, what kind of camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishful Thinking Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Thanks for all of the compliments! Yeah, Ryan, I am a lucky guy, there is no doubt about that. The camera is a Canon Rebel XSi, which I am enjoying very much right now. I just have to learn all of the features and then things will be really good.

Slough Shark Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 :drool: That's the camera I want!! Can't wait to see your pics when you comprehend all the camera's functions, having such a good camera makes a huge difference (makes it more fun to take pics too!). Have fun with it, and nice pics so far! Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishful Thinking Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 A new one that my wife edited. I call it "The Show-Down." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Another great Pic Greg, I think if he wanted to that Venestus could kick the crap out of that sunburst peacock. Both lovely looking fish! Your gonna have to help me out with what setting are working for you. I have a decent camera but no idea how to use the manual settings to my advantage. And I get relatively crappy results with the auto settings. Boom :boom: Edited January 2, 2009 by Boom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishful Thinking Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yeah, if only the Venustus knew how tough he could be! It's funny, the Sunburst is second or third on the pecking order right now and the Venustus is barely breaking the top ten. At least he has started to put on some blue. I will eventually learn about the setting, but right now I am just going on auto. Once I really learn how the technology works I will be glad to help.

Fishful Thinking Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Ok, I am officially addicted to taking pictures of my fish!

Gnaw Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 There are some beautiful fish in those pictures. I like the action shot of the syno curved in a 'C' postcard worthy :thumbs: What is that gorgeous fish in the picture with the 3 yellow labs adjacent to it? The one with the red horizontal strip. Its also 1/2 in the picture below that picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishful Thinking Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thanks. Those synos are hard to keep in one spot long enough to take a picture, though! The fish with the red stripe is a Haplochromic sp. "flameback" or at least that's what I think it is. I bought it as a flameback. I like it because it can be hard to find a lot of red in the rift lakes outside of the red empress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishful Thinking Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Some more shots. Do you guys find that when you are trying to get a shot of one particular fish they are never in the right spot but then the next day you are looking for someone else and that previously hard to shoot fish is always getting in your shots!?! Protomelas sp. "Spilonotus Tanzania" (Liuli) Synodontis petricola BN Edited January 4, 2009 by GregL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
