A Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX12K 7.2 MegaPixels
not to fancy of a camera I suppose.....


So I experimented a bit and took some pictures of my Dwarf Cajun Crayfish....

and one picture of my Red Cherry Shrimp (none of them were near the glass when I was deciding to take pictures)....

The Crayfish are juveniles about 1 cm long....


I think they turned out alright...Im excited I can now take halfway decent pictures of my aquarium life....
It gives me a new way to interact and enjoy my aquariums....

Hopefully as I get better with the camera I can take better and better pictures...

so far it seems that this camera does not have a manual focus option...









This last one is my favorite for some reason.

Real nice pictures! Good color and detail. Did you crop them? I like the cray too. You might want to clean the glass inside an out before shooting. Hate to ruin that perfect shot with water spots!

Yeah they were cropped....and slightly magnified....

Yeah I did not even notice those water spots till I took the pictures....

Still playing with the camera to figure out the best way to take pictures with it....

See if it has center or spot metering. Your camera exposes the surroundings nicely but keeps the shrimp too dark.

Sorry if this is a newbie question (well, I am a newbie), but what are the small...jelly things with circles inside them on the glass in pictures 2,3 and 7? Are they eggs or something???

\\mlh//

Yeah those are eggs....But they are snail eggs....Probably from the Rams horn Snails....

Hey there!

What kind of lighting did you have in the room when the pics were taken?
