If you can see the light, you can photograph it

OK, just one more comment, if you magnify the view of the tank. You will see some tiny little bubbles on the plants; that’s plants “breathing” under water, if you will. You don’t see that with terrestrial plants but you do when the plants are under water. All the best, john

Thanks, Yes, I found the close up quite impressive, But what about exposure ? You used 1/5th here but I was thinking of moving fish and doubt if aquarium lighting would be up to it?

Cheers,.

PS come to think of it, blurred brightly colored fish might be visually OK .......... Hhmmmm.... Thinks

Oxygen bubbles.

Beautiful shot, John.

It takes me back... Years ago I was in the 'biz' and a hobbyist for most of my life. I used to edit the Journal of the National Australian Killifish Association.

For one of our editions we published some beautiful photographs made by the renown photographer, Arend van den Nieuwenhuizen. A stunning sequence of a pair of Killies mating. Ah... memories.

Hello George, My photography hobby is really just landscape photography. I made this image without fish in part because I am not sure how to photograph fish. I am not knowledgeable about flash photography. There was a contributor here who went by a name like Meuh(?) who was amazing with studio lighting, as I am sure others are on this forum. I guess a camera that could shoot well at high ISO would be useful for moving fish. All the best, john

 

[John Borrelli]

I have never kept Killifish but some varieties are quite beautiful and also, I would have loved that job! All the best, Vitée

Exactly, sometimes when the plants are doing really well, you can see an effect generally referred to as 'pearling'; and then you see a stream of tiny bubbles coming from a plant and it looks like a pearl necklace. Sometimes, this happens from many plants at the same time and the tank is something to see. It also speaks to the importance of plants as one of the planet’s great filtration systems.

Apologies if I hijacked this thread, All the best, john

Hi John, Sorry, - didn't mean to quiz you, just thinking (bad habit) aloud :-( . Very enthusiastic about your aquarium shot partly because it suggested a new subject very suited to Foveon esp. Merrill. You probably don't know it but I'm very restricted in mobility and glad to have new ideas, Thanks, George

I used to buy non-running watches on eBay, repair them and sell them.

A few years ago I changed to solid bodies, gold, silver, stainless steel, plastic, etc., except this one :

Great idea for a hobby Ted and a handsome watch. Your image captured the clock face and the metal detailing around the clock face perfectly.

Thanks John. I started an article about watch detail here but never finished it ...

... the number of bad links is quite embarassing. :-(
