Jason & Amber Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I am new to taking pictures of fish and coral. I have a Canon T1i and I have a 250mm zoom lens, 40mm Macro 0.3m lens and the regular lens that came with it. I also have a flash. I have tried every setting, put it on a tripod and I cant get awesome pictures. I am not the greatest with the camera yet and don't know how to use the manual settings if that is how yall get pictures. When the blue lights in the tank are on the coral is beautiful but I can't capture that color. I can't even get the color to show on my phone camera or when video taping. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have any pointers? I just want to get some nice pictures of the tank. I have gotten a few of the fish but that is it. Amber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
