First day home with the new camera (T2i). I am reading through a cool field guide book I got and learning a bit about the settings and where to be creative, but for today I just took a few shots without doing anything special. The first several were in the auto Sport mode (5.6, 1/60, 3200 I believe) and the last one was just full auto with the flash, which is WAY more accurate (color-wise) than the old one. In PS I simply resized and did Auto Color on all of them (not in the mood to mess around a lot so this'll do for now). When I saved for web I felt like it lost a lot of the orange/red-ness, which seemed more accurate in the non-flash photos than the originals, but less accurate after saving. Who knows. I've never really trusted this monitor to be totally accurate.
Am I right to guess that the over-red/orange in the non-flash pics means I was too high on the ISO? I guess the next step will be to try all things being the same but 1600, 800, etc.
It was daylight in the room but the tank light was on. It amazes me how well it captures the imperfections in the crappy acrylic.
Anyway, here are my 4 San Merah discus and Orangehead pairs #1 and 3 (2 are in the breeding tank), in my very first attempt at fish photos with a camera that actually works. What a difference from the old one.
Please forgive the horrible fake plants and awful blue background. Once I solve the issue of the center overflow, I'll get a nice root/tree background. I'm sure the blue messes with the camera quite a bit...
