Toirtis Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hey Christian, I think you need to post a pick of the other Channa you got in. OK, I hesitated even taking one, since I find them common and boring... Channa micropeltis: Now a question...how in hell does everyone get crisp photos of fish that just won't stay still?

windeindoiel Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Now a question...how in hell does everyone get crisp photos of fish that just won't stay still? By playing with camera for hours on end! The albino channa is cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Prawn Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Or I'll tell you for free. What kind of camera do you have? SLR or point and shoot? Easier with an SLR and an external flash, but point and shoot is possible as well. Maybe I'll swing by Riverfront sometime when you're there and give you a crash course. -Hideo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melody Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Beautiful! Its all in the 'film' speed (she says like her pics are anything special)... and Photoshop skills don't hurt . Here are some excellent articles: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/sept2002/bondy.htm http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_2/cav...photography.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichthyosporidium Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Definietly film speed. Remember, the faster your speed, the more light you need, so playing around for hours is the norm, but you can save time and money buy narrowing the parameters. With a little research on the sites Melody hilighted, you find this out. It is nice to see Riverfront has not lost it's touch in the quality and selection that I was used to 15 years ago!

Mighty Prawn Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Film speed is way the wrong answer. The faster the film, the more noise present, and the more "grany" your images will look. The key is slow film speed and proper use of flash. Point and shoot is okay, what camera is it? -Hideo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 The concern was catching moving fish without them blurring = speed. Speed ties into light which gives you grain, and the overall result is heavily influenced by pixels/inch. So its not way the wrong answer, its just way variable....lol. There's a lot of factors there, but for movement, the first place to look is film speed, in my experience, then work with what you have. I find the best overall speed for me is 200 when taking tank pics, with all of my situational concerns considered, someone else's may be different entirely.
