Some Killies shots ...part II

Hristo these photos are fantastic. I have never been able to capture anything near the quality observed above with my fish. The colours, finnage and variety of your fish is simple stunning. Well done.

The best I have come up with is this composition of three pictures of the same fish edited into the one image. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/220/483758063_7a3ae183d8.jpg

Thanks again for the quality images

may be the Killies is one of the freshwater sorts fishes, mostly closer to marine by amazing colors… :idea:

These photos are spectacular!!!, I never saw anything like that, I have produced killis for 4 years but I never did photos, I expect to be able to present something decent.

Sorry for my bad English

Hristo:

Few doubts about your gorgeous photos.

- Do you use an special tank? For example a tank with a cristal between the fish and the bottom.

- The soil of the tank is with a special material? I saw the Simp. myersi photo with a mixed black brillant basaltic and grey matt gravel.

- Which is the distance between the flas placed onto the tank and the fish?

- Which kind of diffusor do you used witth the flash?

Excuse the number of the questions, but, I think you do some things as routine that for me are technicas that I must learn.

Thanks for the compliments, folks!
Hi, Jorge!
My Killie tanks are not much bigger…30 – 80 liters. It gives a opportunity to shoot Them easy and in the natural interior…
also - catch their expressive behavior and poses!
Yes, sometime I add a kind of more special interior elements to make the photos better…
The distance between the flash placed onto the tank and the fish is always different… :idea:

Every fish has its own individual specific…just try and will see which is the better way…!?
May be, more important is to notice that I shoot with two external flashes…not only one!

So here are some macro shots of my Aplocheilus Lineatus Gold, hope you’ll like it:
