Hi Bro,

I think you have to share not only your skill in keeping fantastic reef but also share your skill in photography!

I have never able to take photos like you. Maybe you could share with us one day?

Thanks in advance.

Wonderful. Maybe you guys should start a thread to share with us the tips to such wonderful photos.

I have tried so many times shooting my tank and in the end give up and have decided to shoot flowers .

But I hope one day to show some decent photos of my tank. Now whenever, I see those I have taken - I puke

[roidan]

ok..for me personally...i set my camera to speed priority mode...meaning i fix the aperture speed...i tend to use 1/80 to 1/100 to capture the fast moving fishes...

weileong may have his own method for doing so..hehe

[weileong]

I know there's quite a few professional photographers or some very pro amatuers here in SRC ah. All hidden tigers. We just know very little and not so much experience later speak too much let people laugh only.

But share some tips that we used for shooting the photos is okie but if got any mistakes then better correct us

So do you use a tripod? Did you take from an angle to reduce reflection? Do you use flash?

No.1 tips.

Clean your glass It will make a world of difference.

Aim your camera perpenticular to the glass so there is the least distortion. The thicker the glass the worst the distortion.

For me I open the aperture to the largest so the shutter speed is the fastest. Many way to do it

Don't use flash, you will not be able to capture the rich colors in your reef

no tripod used....try to take align the camera lens to the glass plane....no flash....
