Rio nanay-drainage Biotope

[japes]

Hey guys,

Purchased a new 550D the other day and have been playing with the 1080p video functionality. Fantastic fun, but I need a lot of practice as manual exposure and focus for optimum quality is quite hard to perfect.

Filmed (poorly) on my F/4-5.6 17-85mm - wider apertures are rad fun but a bit harder to master.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3PXChKZ8SA - Embed doesn't do 16:9 unfortunately. It was uploaded at 720p but apparently Youtube will only do 360 for me.

My Rio Nanay-drainage Biotope, inspired by photographs and information from Martin and Tom's Apistogramma Bible (http://apisto.sites.no/slekt). All wild specimens, based around Apistogramma sp. "Black-Chin Schwarzkinn", with one female currently guarding 2 day old free-swimming fry. You can get a glimpse of them at 1:08.


Stocking (All Wild):
- 3x Apistogramma sp. "Black-Chin/Schwarzkinn" (Breeding Trio)
- 12x Nannostomus mortenthaleri "Coral Red Pencilfish"
- 5x Corydoras atropersonatus

Cheers,
japes

This is absolutely amazing, you really brought this biotype right into my home for me man, that is really cool, thanks. The tank, lighting, cinema photography, and music, really work.

Very creative stuff, I would call it art.

Peace
