my love of moss always amazes my girlfriend. :)

I'm considering investing in a new lens for more close up stuff. Any suggestions for the next affordable step for my starter cannon 1100d?

I have spent an evening researching if I can put a 70w metal halide daylight bulb into the same r7 fixture but came to the conclusion it might just blow up.

That is EXACTLY the one I already have. :D

Hi, Just bringing this thread back as i've been practising my photography a bit. I stuck a 400w halogen lamp over the tank to give extra light and it worked a treat but i'm having issues with the colour balance. Obviously the bulb is more in the yellow end of the spectrum but I aimed to...

Cheers, It's one of those, "I was meant to be breaking this tank down 9 months ago" set ups :). I was growing the stems out for a friend but have kept some and have been playing around with bulking them out and pruning. About to give them another adjustment right now. As ever with this corner...

Two shots here of my corner tank showing the specific issues I have with taking good photo's of it. The first taken with the 50 mm f/1.8 II Second taken with the wide angle setting of the 18-55mm Still some playing to do to get the best shot. I like the image quality much better on the...

Excellent, ill pop that on now and see what I can do. The biggest issue we are having with the camera so far is actually having the time to process all the shots we have taken. 2500 odd taken in the space on 6 months!

canon starter dslr 1100d really impressed with it so far. The only lenses we have currently are the 18-55mm that came with it and I picked up a Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 II a couple of months ago which is loads of fun. Once i'm back working again I'll start looking at investing in better lenses.

Thanks guys, George - do you go as far as using the light box setups I have just read about on the CAU site?

:D We need a guide! my girlfriend and I have bought a new dslr this year with a zillion settings but it is very hard to find a comprehensive guide to tank photography. With all the expert photographers here I thought one of you guys could impart your knowledge onto the masses. Thanks in...

i've just spent the last couple of months playing the ebay canon game. I wanted around 10mp with liveview (the lcd screen at the back showing what the photo is going to be like) so was looking at stuff past the 450d but ended up trying for a 40d at around £320 - 330 without lens, £440 with...

Digital pls. :) but thanks, john p.s ive seen your portfolio, classy work

Hi, The girlfriend and I are looking to replace our cheap point and click that has suffered a "lens error" fault with another model. Does anyone have any recommendations for models with flexiblity and quality of photo? Below £100 is the aim. Thanks in advance, John

very cool. i have to make a trip one day down to TGM.

Hi, I went on a little field trip to the glasshouses at the Edinburgh botanical gardens for some inspiration for my new scape. Obviously I took some photos to share with UKAPS. Enjoy...

Hi, I've been getting ok"ish" results using a standard setting on my Fujifilm s5600. I am currently getting the best results through the curved front of my corner tank with the "natural" preset/macro/no flash. Any advice on how i could get the best out of the camera? Thanks, John
