Ann Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Those are some nice looking 'shrooms, but the squirt is just fantastic, best of luck with it. You have a natural looking tank and I like the algae growth (the cool stuff that is). Best regards Ann Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Thanks Ann, lol....i have to go get some DT's to feed it....and i think to help out and get the "extra" DT's that the Tunicate doesnt eat i wil get a Feather Duster or something....anyway i am going to add more snails and take out the turbo b.c. they poop ALOT, my plan of an open tank is not really possible w/ the rocks i got.....so i guess i will just have to do my best to make it looks nice...anyway more updates when i get more coral.....i think im going to be puting in some today, so keep checking in...

Pili Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Just switch the camera to auto and turn off the flash (read the manual) and you should be ok for now until you learn what your doing. Also put it into auto focus because some of the pics you took were out of focus. Read up on a couple general photography websites and get a few photo books out of the library and that should help you a ton. Pretty much all the basic techniques from film can be applied to digital with a dslr. Link to comment
