New Camera New Pics
 

Just got my new Panasonic DMC-TZ1 compact camera and was playing around with it. The macro shots are awesome but the full tank shots need some work.

Sam, the 3rd one down is absolutely stunning in your "see all pics" site. You should post the other pics as well.

i think you should be a tank of the month

Thanks guys.

Ok, I adjusted a few settings on the camera for full tank shots and its better now. I increased the ISO setting and changed the metering mode from "Multiple" to "Center Weighted".

That one's cool, but the one after that is the one I meant.

What did you pay for your camera if you don't mind me asking?

I like the penny pic. That's the money shot!! :mrgreen:

Danny, I dont' know which one you are talking about since the one right after that one is the BTA's tip which I already showed in the first post. And I also tried to resize my browser to show 2 columns, 3 columns, 4 columns, 5 columns, and 6 columns and the pics that end up below that pic is always a pic of the full tank which I don't think you are talking about.

Jaws, the regular price of the camera was $449 (Future Shop, Best Buy, etc) and I got it on the Canada Day sale for 15% off.

Muck, pennies are all I got left from overspending in this hobby.

Great shot's Sam!
Color rendition and macro are top notch :biggrin:

PS add your fulltank image to the Canreef Members thread!

Thanks Rich. Done.

Sweet pics Sam.
Although I am wondering about the penny, I heard it's not good to have copper in a reef tank.:lol: Are your inverts' still ok? :razz:
