Following :wave:. You might want to look at some photosynthetic Gorgonians, just make sure they are NOT non-photosynthetic.

Thanks.! :clap2:
what lens and settings did you use for them? my girlfriend has a Canon T3i with a zoom lense and a macro lense. she knows what she's doing mostly, but not with aquarium photos. did you use filters? our pics always turn out too blue, or just ugly when i put the white lights on.

Hey dude,

im using a Nikon D80, with this lens: Nikon DX AF-S nikkor 18-135mm 1:3.5-5.6G ED

im totally a beginner taking aquarium photos.

i used an ISO:200. f/3.5

thats what i remember.. let me check the camera and i'll let you know all the setting.

one advice. turn off all the pumps.. turn off all the lights of the room where you have the display, use an tripod. and try to get a shooter.

:gossip::yo:

hey man, thanks a bunch for going out of the way to get me that info. never thought about shutting the pumps off, that's good advice. it's pretty hard to believe that you're a beginner, because they're really good professional looking shots.
