This is a photo of one of the WC Chocolate Gourami in my son's tank. It is a younger male not fully grown yet. He is one of only two males in the tank full of females.

Nice fish Dan. What kind of camera are you using?
So many types of fish that I want. If I could I would have so many tanks lol -
The camera is a Nikon D300 the wife got me for my birthday back in '09. Shot raw using the Tek lights above tank, no overhead flash used. It was just a quick shot my son asked me to take of the fish for his project.
1/50
f5.6
ISO 1000
It could have been a lot better had I used a setting like ISO 200 f/11 but I didn't check the settings before shooting, rookie mistake.

Forgot to mention the lens used came with the camera as a package when she purchased it. This is the lens I used.Comment

Truth be told I still don't know how to operate the camera correctly yet. The Nikon D300 was my first DSLR ever. Before that I didn't own a camera so when I got it I was stumped. I didn't know anyone who owned a DSLR so the internet was my source of information. I wish there's a class I could attend to learn how to use it properly.
One thing I did learn is lighting makes all the the difference in the world between an alright shot and an incredible shot.Comment

Thanks, every once in a while I get lucky. I got my wife an iPad 3 as an early Mother's Day Gift and it takes really nice photos. I don't know which iPad you have but with the iPad 3 all you have to do is touch wherever you want the camera to focus and it automatically auto focuses on what you touched.Originally posted by troy tucker View Post
Here is a photo I just took with the iPad 3:Originally posted by sunkenmetal View Post

That's hilarious! I hardly ever touch her iPad unless I have to. I honestly don't care for them however she loves it. Hey, you know the old saying, "A happy wife is a happy life"... I'm just saying.Originally posted by troy tucker View Post
