Water Lettuce - pics

How do you manage to get the "black water" effect? What camera you are using?

I took the photos with tank lights only (no flash) on a tank with a black background. The intense colors of the plants all but washed the water out to black (which was nice).

My camera is an Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom; nothing special, really, and rather outdated today.

Thanks i will try that. Haven't tried taking pictures of my tank surface.
 
I agree Great pics!

This would make a great background.

So I could put a couple of these in my tank but I would have to lower the water level a bit to fit them probably right? How tall are they?

I'm thinking that I need to find some for my Vivarium wither firebelly toads and for my 20 gallon with ADF's.

not sure how well these would work in shallow water though, or if I would have enough light for them.

What kind of lights are used for all these topless tanks? I'm having trouble visualizing it. Maybe some more pics? heh
 
There we go, Roan...a little slice of e-immortality. ;)

I still have the glass lids on in this photo, but they were removed shortly after adding the plants:
