Did you ever share the type lense, flash setup, etc. with Dippy Eggs? I would like to know also as these are the most incredible photos of betts I have ever seen. You are a genius!

Hristo posted his setup here, right in this very thread.

I'd also have to say that, while our colleague Hristo is a very talented and skilled artist, the photographic evidence available in this same thread shows that he does, still, "put his pants on one leg at a time." ;) By this I mean to say that H. has invested in the equipment necessary to do good aquarium photography, and, then, he has paid close attention to the results, as he put those tools to work. The first images in this thread, posted here three years ago, are very good. The latest ones are even better. I dare to extrapolate, from the line defined by those two data points, yet more delightful work to come.

Thanks, Darter, for asking the question that got me to look back at this thread myself. Thanks, Hristo, for fine work that you continue to post here.

All the best, mi compañeros!
 
Thank you for the compliment, Chris!

Obviously, I have to repeat all about my modest Photo-equipment and latest usual set up in every topic of mine…
Because, I had said it many times, though…but some people just don’t like to scroll over the pages…
My Camera is CANON 350 D
Lenses: EF 50 mm/f2.5 Compact-Macro and EF 50 mm. f/1.8 II
Ext. flashes: Canon Speedlite 430 and 580EX

My usual settings:
Shutter Speed: 1/200 seconds
Aperture Value: f/14-22(dependent on the fish specific and fishes position)
ISO Speed Ratings: 100-400(dependent on the fish specific)

[FONT=&quot]My Speedlite 430EX is always situated above the tank(slave mod)… the other one - Canon Speedlite 580EX (wires connected with the camera in “master” mod) I hold in my left hand and move in front(like straight “fill” flash), dependent on the fish specific and fishes position…
The both are with diffuser!
