I've really had fun posting these pics and especially getting comments on them. Thanks everyone. I'm new to this hobby and even more of a newbie at taking pictures of any type. I only started keeping a tank about 8mths ago and its been fish only up until 3mths ago. Some time ago a friend took some pics for me and I have been itching to have a go myself. I managed to talk someone into lending me their Nikon Coolpix 2500 digi for the night. Needless to say I was up all night playing the part of fish paparazzi! I've taken LOADS!! {tee hee} I'm sure you all remember the excitement taking pics of your tank first time.
The Alien pics were taken on the 2500s version of Macro.{not quite real macro}. Flash off and white balance set to flouresant. My tank lights on at the time were 1xT8 15w and 1xmarine blue. I also used a tripod. I flipped the picture around clockwise after I downloaded it. I've attached a pic I took right after with white balance on normal. All else was the same.
Had to give camera back today which explains this long reply....I'M LOST!
