Nikon D7100, 90mm macro, a bit out of date but still works well. I also use a speed light, that's the secret ingredient!

Re: Some Pics
Agree the high speed flash (overhead usually) is a bigger factor than having the ultimate camera. Nice to see you here GTZ!

Is there a complimentary 40k post package on the horizon? Maybe a nice gift card to Tom's Tanganikans or SI Cichlids or KG Tropicals?

End of the day, DJ & Dee have kept this place intact for the last 2/3 years.

Re: Some Pics
Hey guys, how do you deal with flash reflecting on the glass of the tank?

Re: Some Pics
Shoot on the diagonal and/or with the lights off...no flash. Or have a remote flash over the tank, don't use the one on the camera. This is the ideal.

Thanks!! Shot with no flash.
I'm sure the color would be more vibrant with over-the-tank flash.
