![]() Hi there just got a good camera so I can take some pictures of my fish and tank, but I am running into some problems.
I set my shutter speed way up and aperture open wide, but when I take the shot my lighting of the tank turns out yellow. So I tried to turn off just my white lights and leave just the blues on, but now everything is all blue ... (insert dumb comment here) So I was wondering what you guys are doing to get such nice shots and keep the color levels right

![]() I think you'll find you'll get more desirable shots by adjusting your white balance.

![]() Yes, white balance is a huge factor when shooting tanks, if your camera lets you adjust the WB then play with that setting with options like cloudy, sunny, etc... or set your own white balance by shooting at off white colors which won't help in overall tank shots but instead might help you achieve the true color of a fish or coral.
I also use a tripod whenever possible for corals, no flash, acrylic tubes to shoot thru water, and yes like you mentioned -high shutter speeds for those speedy fish ![]()
