Thanks Crystal. This is one of the last Shadow mommas that I kept for breeding. She's a beauty and her blue is expressed much more while shes berried.

Gotta get me some Royal Blues!!!!!!!!!!

BTW Speedie, what are you at on the camera settings? 1/200 F11? Flash overhead? What are you triggering with Cord or wireless?

**sbarbee54** · 01-25-2013, 03:54 PM

Get some black tigers from him, they some time slip royal blues in there on accident, hehe then you end up with a breeding stock that has royal blues all over it. I know this because it happened to me

binbin9 · 01-25-2013, 04:04 PM

nice the royals are so eye catching. Do you have some shots of yoursSbarbee54?

Shutter 1/250, F20, overhead flash (I'm waiting for some cash flow so I can get a power source for my new lights!), & wireless trigger. Check out my new lights! Novatron 2140-C's:

I like the shadow panda that u took. I was wondering how do u get ur shot like that. Are u using a canon 100m macro? U should post a pic of how close ur camera and lens are up to the tank...to get an idea... Camera noob

binbin9 · 01-25-2013, 04:59 PM

I appreciate the effort you put into the photos. It can be a PIA to get the lights set up and take photos. These are poster worthy. Great job man.

**speedie408** · 01-25-2013, 05:00 PM

^^ Basic Canon 100mm macro, yes.

The beauty of of a 100mm is that you don't have to be right up on the glass. I'm standing a good 1-1.5 ft away from the glass on most my shots.

Binbin - Thanks buddy!!

Dany08fa · 01-25-2013, 05:03 PM

i would buy a shrimp poster... lol

africancichlidlovers · 01-25-2013, 05:37 PM

Really speedie? I tried doing that and I can't even get a close up shot like ur shrimp. It really frustrate me that I can't do it...hahahaha

**plamski** · 01-25-2013, 05:45 PM

Come on man/speedie/.Why are you giving your secrets. Now everybody will start posting pictures in National Geographic.

Why not 3x Speedlite 580EX II instead of those novotrons?

Got em for FREE from a buddy.

Why not right?

LOL you know damn well that it aint the camera, it's about the man/women behind the camera :P. I've got no secrets. haha

**plamski** · 01-25-2013, 05:55 PM

I'm just buying light equipment for the company. Read some forum and decided to go with 3-4 flashes. Will skip PW supplies, cables, wireless, triggers...
Probably I won't have max power and speed but I'm not professional photographer.
Which wireless-trigger you have in mind?
