    Great looking picture! Very natural colors.

    Did you supplement the tank lighting with flash?

    Show us some more goodies please!

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

    This one as taken without a flash. Normally I do use a flash but I
    was having a hard time getting it to work well in the small shrimp tank
    (5.5 G).

    Here's one with a flash...

    actually I thought the first pic kind of too yellow. the ranchovii don't have such a yellowish mouth part and eyes I think, like the contrast pushed over the limit? any processing done?

    Nothing done with the color of the killie - though I did blur out part of an angel
    fish that was in the background. I used a flash in that shot and the colors came out
    really saturated. With the mouth open like that, light entered the mouth too, giving
    it a little translucency in the mouth area. That's one picture I'm going to have to color
    correct the fish in - actually will have to reduce the saturation.
    The fish itself is really colorful though. I took 15 - 25 shots of that fish, all of them
    coming out like that.


    For the Otto shot, I think I was using Macro rings, +1,+2,+4 for the really close up shot.
    For the other one, I was using just the standard lens.

    Using a Sony DSC F707.

    the first oto is a keeper, really really great. mmm… +1+2+4, wonder how much magnification do you have? I'm using a G5 with +1+4, going to try measuring the magnification one of these evenings.

    how far away from the oto were you?

    actually for the ranchovii would have loved a landscape format.

    here I am showing a cherry shrimp, the extreme red version, taken by a fellow forummer subzero.

    Thats a great looking shrimp pic! I really like how the red/green contrast works out.
    Sweet!

    For the Otto pic - I'd estimate it being 3-5 cm from the lens. Pretty close..

    These other shots...


    - the shrimp was only 2cm away from the lens.



    Some clean up of the background was done with Photoshop...

    One of these days I'll setup a small photo tank.

    You guys take amazingly good pictures.
    Wonder anyone want to borrow this shrimp for Photo taking.
    Should I call this super extreme red Version?

    Eric, these are all colour variant of the same shrimp. Mostly you get those shown in Ghazanfar's pic, a number will be like the one I showed, and sometimes (not that rarely) you will get one like yours. I have all three showing in my tank from one single batch that keep breeding, so they're the same shrimp gene pool.

    Anyway,
    Envy your skill and the equipement you have. Really wish to capture a nice picture of the mildly rare red shrimp I have.

    Hi Ghazanfar Ghori,

    The Armano/Yamato shrimps are really nice. A deviation for the usual presentation, but in an artistic manner.

    I can't help but notice that the first 4 pictures are a bit yellowish as pointed out by hwchoy. At first, I thought it's my monitor adjustments, but the Armano shrimp seems spot on in terms of color. I'm wondering if the existing lighting on the first 4 subject is different from the Armano shrimps. Perhaps you can share that with us as well.

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

    Oh yes, good colour balance (from my monitor), unfortunately what's that red "thing"! [:0]

    on the subject of monitor calibration, I find that if I calibrate my monitor with the Photoshop wizard, it would be too bright for everyday use, am I doing something wrong?

    Good!

    The red thing is a red ramshorn snail. Compare with the smaller regular ramshorn
    with the leopard pattern. Stupid snail messed up my picture.

    Wow!!

    Good color balance on my monitor too!

    Very sharp, especially the eyes area.

    Too bad about the snail though.

    Yeah I think I'll go feed that snail to my loach.
