...still alive

24 hours on and I am delighted to say that everyone is looking good. I kept a few neocaridinas when I first started and had terrible trouble. These little boys and girls are far livelier and just constantly grazing.

Perhaps it is just that I have learned, the hard way, how to keep stable water conditions.

I have also been trying to get to grips with macro photography and more particular how best to light a tank so that I can use a small aperture, for depth of field, and a reasonable shutter speed to stop the action. I really need to invest in a ring flash but today I have been improvising by using a very powerful flashlight with tissue paper over the lens so that I get some diffusion. Far from perfect but a bit of an improvement on previous efforts.


All photos were taken at f11 but i am yet to get the shutter speed I need and I really need to get down to f16 or thereabouts.
