Cuong Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Very cool shot, and the background is very different and interesting too. Was it just an artifact of the flash or slight manipulation in Photoshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theosam Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 What camera and lens did you use back then? Dont suppose you want to give us some insight on how you use your flash on these pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hmm... pretty colours... but oh what a pest!! I had a mantis shrimp in my saltwater tank and it killed about $200 worth of my fish and all my hermit crabs. Very adorable indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 What camera and lens did you use back then? Dont suppose you want to give us some insight on how you use your flash on these pics... same camera and lens. nothing's changed. flash on the top of the tank. i hold the camera on my right hand, focus on the object and press the shutter speed. what else do you want to know?
