patrick Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks guys Very nice! What camera/lens set-up are you using and what settings? Canon Rebel XT with a Canon EF-S 60mm macro, full manual + Canon 430EX flash in manual mode from above. I can't remember the settings exactly but the flash was probably 1/2 power with built in diffuser, ISO 100 and the aparture pretty high to get good depth of field I'd say between f12 and f14. Shutter I never touch when using the flash, it's always at 1/100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleshgear Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Thanks guys Very nice! What camera/lens set-up are you using and what settings? Canon Rebel XT with a Canon EF-S 60mm macro, full manual + Canon 430EX flash in manual mode from above.

Shutter I never touch when using the flash, it's always at 1/100. when using the flash how do you keep the water from looking yellowish? the only light you use is the flash? do you have a special tank that you put the fish into to take the pictures? is the flash mounted to the camera? the minumum focusing distance of this lens is 20cm that still seems like a long ways away.
