    Hi everyone,


    Just for fun, these are some of my fishy wallpaper made out of my practise shots at home on my fishes and shrimps...

    I did not do any cropping and photoshop editing on these pictures, just resizing and adding of text... my tank are a bit dirty and with some algae... * Did some minor touch up to remove some of the irritating dots *

    BTW... not sure how to do attachment, so here are the links... * Hope these thumbnail gives a better presentation *



    . . .



    I will add more later with more practise shots... C&C are most appreciated. Hope you can share yours too!

    Not bad. The 2nd picture is clear and sharp. But you'll need to improve on the lightings a little.

    Hi Eugene, thanks, I'm shooting without any flash...

    Actually, I still have not get my flash yet and the photo taken with the built-in flash comes out very greenish since I did not do the white balance... Anyway, still just playing around with what I have now...

    Hi benny, it's the one and only corydoras in my home tank and it nicely stay still for me to take the pic. The pic looks dark on my 17" LCD screen but just nice as my notebook wallpaper...

    My non-fishy friends are convinced that it is evil when they saw the cory... devilish-red eyes and "fangs", 2 pairs somemore!

    BTW, what's that stump on the last few rays of the dorsal?

    Hi CK, hmmm... I'm wondering what your non-fishy friend thought about white rabbits...

    I did not even notice the stump before you mentioned it... ... Will check it out as soon as it comes out of the cave...

    Don't try to make it perfect and don't be shy to show the work... My 2 cents. Cheers!

    My new wallpaper: Bristlenose Catfish, Ancistrus sp.

    I'm using it for my notebook so it looks bright enough. May look dark on LCD Monitor thou. I only resize the size and resolution, no cropping and touch-up yet...

    Hi Richard, thanks.. that's my specially planted hair algae... ... only thing is that it is now too contaminated by the dirt...

    Anyway.. I kind of like the effect, since it help to bring the focus to the fish head...

    Here's one without the thingy...
