Amazing shots! I'm really looking forward to seeing your tank again sometime soon.

A Few!!! Man thems som crazy shots Ace nice work. You think you can build a picture box for an SLR??

[hobogato]

sure - you would have alot more guts than me floating that expensive a camera over a tank of saltwater in a plastic box tho. when i get a better camera, i will still use my old one for top down shots :)

[prof]

What camera are you using? What settings? What size tank?

Everything looks great!

thanks dave, it is a 240 gallon tank. i am shooting these with a toshiba 3.3b Mpixel camera and a small acrylic box i made to cout out the glare on the surface of the water. as far as the camera settings, i set the white balance to "cloudy day" as fast a shutter speed as possible with the f stop around 2.0
