Nice. If you come across any tips on WB settings for photos under LED lighting, pls post them up too :P

I find myself having to do a custom WB setting and then still have to do a WB bracketing to get the right WB.

BTW, You got your DSLR already Larry?

Eqpt: Deltec MCE 600, Tunze 6055 with Tunze 7091 controller, Artica 1/15 HP chiller, AquaIllumination Sol Blue LED Light System

2011 resolution : Do it simpler, better and in an easier way!

I heard a fresh water forum might be having a Aquarium Photography workshop soon, maybe next month.

I know they have quite a few good photographer for Aquarium. I could share if they confirmed but, will it be appropriate to post it here if there is one?

how to get the WB accurate under BLUE LED lighting. put a white cardboard into the tank then take readings from there, will this work? Currently using a Canon G9

tried already. so do not accurately reflect the true colours.

I think the whole pic turn yellowish after that.

You should use 70% grey card actually. They will turn out pretty well.

However, I still recommend using external flash, or multiple external flash if possible.
