yellow Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 while ive got this post up could one of the morew experienced photographers on here please tell me if there is any way of capturing an image of a fish while it is moving without the picture coming out blurry.i took heaps of them but they were constantly moving and the above were the best i could do.my wife said that speeding up the shutter speed may help.is that correct?

ViS Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 As long as you have plenty of light, or you are using the flash, you can increase shutter speed. If your camera has a "sports" setting, use that and see how you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fman Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Like Vis says - use manual settings - shutter priority, speed around 1/200 seconds or faster. If you don't have enough light, change the ISO setting to 200 or even 400 (however results will be grainier the larger you go). It's also a good idea if you're using artificial light to match the "white balance" to the colour temperature of the light you're using. This should all be in the manual. Alternatively, cool the tank down to 20C. That'll slow them down! Cheers, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
