GoldenGirl13 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yep...one of the reasons I don't have any photos up something always goes wrong either camera, Photo-sucket or flares in crucial spots ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Jo, it is better to have half-decent photos up than no photos at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettaObsessed Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I have started taking my photos on an angle so the flash is away from where the fish is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Yeah that's what I USUALLY do. Thanks for the tip though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 A small photography tank is a great investment. I use 10cm cubes made by AquaOne. You can just move it somewhere with natural light and forget about the flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Ahh!! cruelty to fighting fish.... tiny interrogation tanks.... bright lights...... I'm telling the SFCA!!!! There's a couple of great threads on here for photographing your fish.... don't think the fish have read it yet so they might not always play their part but if you play yours you will get much better pics than mine And what Razzi said is the best advice - use natural light in a smaller photo tank......

Bettarazzi Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 And dont forget that I also have a male or female next to them to get that flaring shot so I'm deliberately getting them all aggressive and randy. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGirl13 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Getting there guys, just got new camera today and 4 peppers for new tank. When river sand settles down and i get to grips with new camera there will be photos I PROMISE!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I use 10cm cubes made by AquaOne. I saw one in the LFS not to long ago, I instantly thought of a photo tank. Sometime I'll get one. Yup, I've read through the Shutterbugs. Lots of good tips there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I think I might invest in a small divided tank I can use for photos. It will make it easier than waiting for a fish to flare in just the right spot in a coke bottle so you don't get any image distortion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
