KINDLY POST A FISH OF YOURS

[FishHobby99]

I am learning to take better pics. Please state your device if you don’t mind. These were taken with a lens attached to my iPad cam lens. It simply clamps over the lens

. I’m getting a better camera set up, but haven’t done enough research yet to know what to buy.

I’m off to take some photos! My mom has a really nice camera because she takes pics of birds - she’s an ornithologist - and I use the macro setting for fish. Here’s my favorite of my old dominant male Congo Tetra.

Not the best shot, but I use my samsung 8 it's not too bad at close ups when needed rapid pics... I'd love a nice pro camera though.... think I'm on Santa's good list!? Haha

I use an iPhone 11. Mine are by no means anything incredible. @JennySolano what generation or type of IPad do you have? Before I got my IPhone, I had a 6th generation iPad. I still use it for art and to play games with my sisters, but the photos quality on it was awful!

She has a DSLR?

Yeah. A Canon DSLR EOS Rebel SL1 with a 1:3.5-5.6 28-80mm lens. It’s a nice camera, but it’s been in use for over 10 years, so it is finicky and only works when it wants to.

edit: It’s also a very expensive camera bought new. The lens was also bought new. Probably worth 800 dollars right now. It’s really fun to Take pictures with.

I also use my moms phone for normal pictures. It’s the same as @OliveFish05’s. For some reason the pics on the phone are really nice. Below are one of my most prized fish - my Gymnogeophagus Terrapurpurra and a water hyacinth. I’ll have to dig up some better pics later with my moms phone.

She has a DSLR?

Interesting! I bought possibly the 1st Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT circa 2005. Has a 18-55 mm & a 70-210. No macro setting. Recently bought a Canon Macro Lens that wouldn’t mount properly. So returned. Camera etc pricey at the time, $1000 as I recall. Paid for itself. Sold articles & photos of my pet parrots to leading bird mags, targeting pet owners. Nothing academic. My birds often illustrated other people’s articles

BUT! I can’t get it to work worth on the fish or even the axies. I’ve had enough of trying & will buy a more fish friendly outfit soon.

Nice…kinda!

Gorgeous! You have aquatic plants that blossom above the water line? I want some!

I have Water Hyacinth and Anacharis as well as Giant Water Snowflake, which hasn’t bloomed yet

saw some old Canon DSLR going really really cheap on eBay. I will likely give mine to my little niece

Great pics!!! Love your ax,s ❤

Thanks! Kirby, Ponyo, and Wobbles are their names.

Outstanding! Do you use the flash? I’m have a old Gen 5 Ipad on life support. Ordered a new one that won’t be here until 1/22. Forgot model. Cost around $300 in grey & $500 for identical device in black

thanks! Nope, no flash. Between the different lights and window I don’t need it. That is hilarious! I think my gen 6 was around $400 when I got it back in 2018… mines in Rose Gold. It works really well for games and art and such but the pics are no good!
