dsoz Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 That was the subject of last month's meeting... Andy is one of our experts. I have found that I take better pictures with a camera that lets you choose the focus. The autofocus feature on my camera is not as smart as I am when it comes to making what I want to be clear. Also, clean water and clean glass help. So does a flash from the top of the tank. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coralreefaquarist Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 something you can adjust the white balance on manually or atleast have some good options, tha way it dosent look like you took pics of your corals in a glass of beer while cosmic bowling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yeah no kidding. What kind of camera do you have Fakkzz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakkzz Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I've just got a Olympus 770c digital. Takes amazing pictures honestly but I haven't figured out the through the glass aspect. I've gotten great close ups of other things too. I'm not a photographer type though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undrtkr_00 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If you do a search for other threads on photography, you should find some good tips. There have been quite a number of them in the last year or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
