Great pics awth

Good looking fish, just a bit on the skinny side, but with good feeding i am shure you'll fix that in no time.

Thx both.

John, they just start to pick up their appetite, I hope they will gain some weight very soon!

Sure, no problem, I will share with all of you!

My gears included
1. Canon 20D
2. Canon EF100mm F2.8 Macro Lens
3. Canon EX580II External Flash
4. Canon Remote Flash Sensor

The setting:
1. Flash placed on top of the tank or the side of the tank, your choice.
2. Len must be parallel to the front glass for clearer pic
3. Shutter Speed 1/80-1/125, F11-18, ISO100, MF, try and error!
4. Focus point..... the eye!

You are right! This batch from the LFS, when I bought them, I already know that they have ICH. Anyway, I bargined the price since they are sick. You can still see them if you look close enough, but I believe they are almost 100% recovered. As I said, they started tp pick up their appetite. Hopefully, everything will go well.

Besides, my friend also bought 4pcs from this batch on the next day, he found out 1 single flea on one of the 4. And I have been very closely observated my 5pcs, luckily, I don't see anything.

Awth,

The Zebra photo's are stunning.

I have almost the same photgraphic equipment as you.

I have the same camera and lens. The flash I have is the 580EX, not sure if that is the same one as yours.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a remote flash sensor to use in taking fish photo's, I take it from the results that you have obtained that you would recommend the remote sensor. Exactly which model did you get? I would be very interested to know.

Did you use a tripod?

Regards

I do recommend remote sensor for its flexiblity. The one I am using is Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2.

The flash we have is pretty much the same. IMO, EX580II is pretty much the same as EX580.

No, I don't use tripod. Handheld and Manual focus.

some more sample pic of my Apisto.
