    Yeah, I have no issue photographing with the white lights, it's the blue lights I want to try and master (if at all possible). I've noticed my cellphone is able to capture those shots without issue.

    Great tips so far... going to approach a lot of you soon so we can compile an article for aquarium photography :)

    Canon 650D. Been messing around with the manual settings as the auto just don't do it.

    Problem is trying to get nice photos in dimm light without the flash.

    But mostly use RAW and try to fix the color afterwards.

    This is what I do for random pics and not high quality full tank shots. See the new thread created for good full tank pictures.

    I got the Nikon D7200. Was looking at that and the D7100.
    Broder, yes I have the Tamron macro, but it's the 90mm.

    Last year probably ..
    90% Mostly Petnax WG3 with an eyefi card.
    2% Sometime the uTough 3000 but screen has some damage and batteries are hard to find.
    7% Fuji Film X10 for trip pics.
    1% Cannon 450D with macro lens

    Software Olympus viewer 3

    Year to date 7050 files and 187 folders - folder per day a picture was taken 22,8GB.
    80% of all pictures are fish related in some form or shape.

    Yeah ok maybe I have a problem.

    Canon 7D MKII with a 18-135mm lens. I am looking for a second hand macro lens for the fish pics the 18-135mm does not get the close ups right.

    HAHA for sure :D

    82 folders and 7935 files for me year to date :laugh: 58,6GB
    I'd estimate about 10% are edited duplicates though.

    You're not alone hehehe

    Me when I'm in the mood and the weather is right :)

    Very nice! I saw some second hand lenses on Orms yesterday. You can also try outdoorphoto for second hand lenses :)

    A colleague took me to N1 City quickly, bought a 16gb SD card hehehe. This thing is AWESOME! Loving the video as well. Can't wait to get home and play properly. Can only play so much at work.
