    Hristo,

    All your different series are very impressive. I think I will rename all your threads to include your username so that all our members can easily seach for your threads just by the title alone. Hope you don't mind!

    Keep them pictures coming!

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Hey, Benny…it’s a big honor for me, but I really don’t think myself for so special…
    I see, here are plenty of Great Photographers sharing their pictures…
    and I wanna be just a part of your nice Company, not some “Special Person” , came to show of and demonstrate his Professionalism…
    Actually, you know, I’m not in the least a “Professional” one!
    Aquatic-photography is just a pleasure for me and way to express my love to All my favorite Aquarium Pets
    And to make more People participate in this Great Hobby!
    I don’t want the other members look at my threads like “sticky” photo show…and be embarrassed to share free their pictures and opinions there …
    So, you decide how to “decorate” the titles of my topics… I just want to communicate free and friendly with All of You...

    Cheers!

    Hi AQUASAUR,


    Thanks for sharing the wonderful picture!

    I really like your presentation style, more like telling us a story about your fish rather than just taking a photo of it... Cool...

    Hope I can oneday do the same as you too! This is truly an inspiration for me...

    Warmest Regards from Merviso aka Merv Soh

    Hi Hristo,

    There is a good reason why I'm making your threads easily searchable. We will be conducting a workshop later for aquarium photography and your works will make good reference for us.

    More specifically, you have demonstrated that with the most simple equipment, you can show pictures that are several times better than others with much more fancy equipment. This will be inspiring as well as encouraging for some of our members, who may have a very small budget to start with. Also, it will help put across the point that it's the photographer, not the gear, that makes a difference.

    With the re-titled threads, our members will be able to pick out your threads and study the photos at their free time after the workshop easily.

    Thanks for not minding us renaming the threads and we look forward to more of your good stuff!

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Hi Hristo,
    Inspirational pictures. These will be good reference pictures. Now if you could only share your technique with us, it will be perfect.

    It’s nothing special and “secret”, mate!
    I count more on my best “photo models” Fish and the catching moment!
    Yeah, usually, its needed much patient, stalking…and plentiful of shots, to may chose a few Best ones!
    All the rest is just a proper photo equipment and my usual technique like:
    My Speedlite 430EX is always situated over the tank in “slave” mod,
    the other external one - Canon Speedlite 580EX (wires connected with the camera in “master” mod)
    I hold in my left hand and move in front(like straight “fill” flash), dependent on the fish specific and fishes position…
    The both are with diffuser!
    That’s all.
    Camera used: CANON 350D
    Lenses: EF 50 mm/f2.5 Compact-Macro and EF 50 mm. f/1.8 II
