auberon Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 FR - Fluidised Reactor. Me still figuring out stuff before I buy stuff to start a new tank with hopefully zero mortallity rate. Already added the cost of a Canon G2 to the equation. Still trying to figure out how to use my IXUS 400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me still figuring out stuff before I buy stuff to start a new tank with hopefully zero mortallity rate. Already added the cost of a Canon G2 to the equation. Still trying to figure out how to use my IXUS 400. only one skimmer in my sump, plus some marco algae. 4 to 5 inch DSB with plenum. not less than 80kg of live rock. Now the NO3 is about 0.25ppm Only problem is the KH and CA. CA: 380 ppm KH: 7dkh Buy Canon G5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member dradttg Posted July 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hi Bro, Do you use flash when you take photos of your tank? If not, do you turn off your flash or use some other way to prevent reflection from the tank? I am using Canon Ixus V2. When I leave my flash on, there was a lot of reflection and my photo looks very discolourated and ugly. When I turn off my flash, I find that my camera cannot focus. It keeps showing the shaking sign and the photos that are taken will appear blur. Please give your expert advise. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weileong Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Try to clean the glass and shoot directly (not at an angle) at the glass. That should help. Else try to use manual focus.

auberon Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 To get better shots with my Ixus 400, I switched to manual mode, upped my ISO to 400 and set it for close up mode (flower symbol instead of mountain). Going to clean the glass of my tank and scrap off algae . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place ur camera as close to the glass as possible, remember ur len must be perpendicular to the glass to avoid distorted image if u are using 12mm thick glass.

Just want to check with you how u setup ur camera? i mean the value of the aperture and shuter speed?.. Are u using macro? Really nice and clear which photo u took.... Hopr i can take my like u... I am using only macro mode from the camera without any addition lens. Place ur camera as close to the glass as possible. Use manual mode, manual focus, Speed 1/30 if ur hand is steady, smallest possible apeture. ASA 50 if possible, ASA50 has adventage when come to photo enlarge, croping and other editing. Remember ur len must be perpendicular to the glass to avoid distorted image if u are using 12mm thick glass. To avoid other stray light, try to take ur photo at night when ur tank light is still ON. OFF all the light in ur room during ur photo session. Hope this help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry.. what is ASA 50?? thx.. No problem. The lower the ASA value, more detail u can capture as compare to higher ASA value. However, lower ASA value require more light.
