Wow...what I can say? Nice and very impressive. Perhaps, you can share how the setup with the tanks went? 2 feet tanks?

Chee Yong, what the ....!! Your tank is really nice! The ranking did no justice IMHO. I think the picture is a tad dark and hinders its full glory but nonetheless, very dreamy looking tank and the neat UG is a plus. For next contest, we must gather together and take pictures for members using good equipments, just like CAU and MAC!

bro how do you train your fish to swim nicely in order during photo taking? Impresive

[tcy81]

The lighting was not enough to do a white background as it will have shadows on it. so decide to use black background.
My friend did brought along a flash but didnt manage to use as didn't have a ST-E2 or the offshoe cord.
I need to invest more on my flashes.......

Hi Robert, lots of patience and pain

Where is your picture?

[tcy81]

so How many did you use actually ?

For illuminous background, I use two. Otherwise, just one on top with a big diffusor (plastic box). But most of the time I was too lazy, only relying on lighting sets and adjust the camera settings (higher ISO, smaller aperture etc) to make do. Still not very ideal.

This is mine, rank 420.

Well i need to do better in my trimming skills.

Why all entries so far use the same type of fish? You all standardize among yourselves??

Sharp eyes Robert

Forgot to add about your query on schooling fish. I used newly purchased fish to capture better schooling. But the downside is that the fish will be more pale as can be seen in #109. Hengeli is orangy/red once they are stable, nicer than the ones in the picture.
