Hello Everyone

[Tristan]

Hi

Firstly, I would like to say thanks to the staff for setting up this site, (I have learnt quite a bit already!)

I am currently using a Fuji Finepix s602 Zoom (6mp) which I bought 2 years ago, I was quite happy with it until recently when I used one of my girlfriends Cannon 10D's.

I have taken a "few" shots of my fish and aquaria over the last two years and have put some on a website that is still in progress. Please feel free to visit it and let me know what you think. All hints, tips and advice is/will be most greatfully received. I know nothing about photography whatsoever and have used the manual settings through trial and error. I am still chucking away far more photos than I am keeping and would like some solid advice on where to begin.

My site is http://www.hurstpointyachts.com/fish_home.htm

Thanks in advance for your advice.


Tristan Jones :-O

Tristan,

Welcome to APF. I checked your website and I like your photographs.

Do you have a original file of this picture http://www.hurstpointyachts.com/fish/Snappy.jpg

 

[Tristan]

Yes I do it is my sisters fish, here is a version that is reduced to 640 pixels.

I am a bit p****d off with the flash washout on the fish, but this has been discussed on another thread. I only have a basic camera and no extra flashes, at the moment.

My sister calles him Mr snappy, for obvious resons, naming fish must be a girl thing

What a beauty. I dont see any cool gars around here for sale. They are so awesome. That spotted is a hot looking fish, and a great pic.

Is there any way you can counteract that in photoshop or paintshop pro?

There is NO way to remove overexposed hot spots but you can improve them.

I am glad to see that I am not the only one using a Fuji camera. I too am new to this forum, but I like you pics very much. I still have a lot to learn myself. And I can tell by the thread that I need to update software even if the hardware is limited.
