55 gallon pic

Looks good! Get some close-ups too...

..But let's take care of that rag... :D
 
Flash...

Have you messed with the flash yet??
 
re:rag You mean *everyone* doesn't keep a towel by their aquarium?

My aquarium wasn't exactly prepared at all so that shows too. I haven't experimented with all the goodies on the camera yet. (including flash) That picture was really too dark to see things well. You can see the plants look healthy but ya cain't pick out the algae on the sagitarria... Hmm, maybe that's a good point?

Hey Tempest, it looks great!!! Don't let these Yahoos get to you.
LOL. I made the mistake of putting a table cloth under my 55 and the dang thing is spotted and messy. I always felt though, that there had to be something wacky about these folks that send us pictures of spotless looking tanks with no rags laying around. It's almost Un-American!!!
That tube you have in the middle looks just like the siphon tube I use for my reactor. Does it have a sponge stuck in the bottom of it? Mine works really great.
Keep up the good work and send us some closeups. Don't worry about the algae......we've all got some of it.

<heehees> I figure to wait on tank cleanup to take another set of pics. I've been working on editing and printing some non tank pictures for practice. I'm not sure if water change day will be today or tomorrow yet... I've got everything now to redo my ten gallon planted tank and so that's on my chore list too this weekend. :)
 
Just curious, what camera do you have? I don't have a digital, but it doesn't matter.

If you are interested and know how the basic photography works, I can tell you my way to create very good aqua-pictures without paying a lot of money for the equipment.

Take a look at this one. It was my 2nd attempt and very good. The third attempt was absolutely the best, with razor sharp pictures and big planes, but it's on the slides, so I cannot present them here.

Fortunately I will do some more aqua-shooting soon, since I have other fish, not just Neons. This was taken 6-7 months ago.
