Matty Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Here are a few shots from the other day. I'd like some constructive critisism on the borders and sig too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIMO Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Very nice shots...i love the rich colours!! Thanks for sharing, KimO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepperfish Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 The sig is fine imo, but those red borders take my eye away from the actual subject of the shot. I don't like them. These are some of your best shots I have seen you post. Good work. That clown loach pic is awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomena Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yep, the clown pic is the one caught my eyes. I feel that I can almost grab it. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricyellowz Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Very nice all round. I agree with lepperfish and the red borders catch your eye a little too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markpeh Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 [Very impressive!! Have you tried using a white border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Looks the goods to me! I don't mind the borders either, however if I had to be picky it would be that some of the shots look very tightly cropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Miller Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 G'day Matthew, Super photos. Can you tell us what camera/lens combo you used? Also, what's the fish in the first and last photos? It looks like a Dimi Comp, but the head doesn't look right, or is it just the angle? Maybe a strigatus? Or Protomelas similis? Whatever, it's a stunning fish. Cheers, Lee.

Matty Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Thanks for the replies and C/C. The colour of the border in each shot is an actual sample colour from the photo. Next time I'll try and pick a less intense colour. And Cuong, If you're talking about the clown loach, I didn't have much choice. (Quick little buggers they are.) Dad (Lee), Camera is a Canon 350D with 60mm macro lens, using a 430EX flash being fired from above the tank. The fish is a D. strigatus, without a doubt my favourite fish in the tank. The photo's actually don't do him justice, he has an amazing blue sheen through his body, and when he gets excited (as in the last shot) the outline of his entire body becomes a dark, almost maroonish colour. For those who are interested, the file names of each photo is the name of the fish. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunnel Rat Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Matty Your Best work Yet I love them. With your borders I like using a colour from the shot as well.Try and keep it to a colour with not so much of a high impact. You could try and not center the fish so much follow the rule of thirds a bit maybe Look out Budi here commmmmmes Matty cya Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
