Title: Celestial Pearl Danios
Post by: PaulineMi on September 19, 2014, 05:18:55 PM
These celestial pearl danios from Dennis are very difficult little speed demons to photograph.  I stuck a piece of freeze dried black worms on the side of their tank and kind of captured pix of most of them. The dwarf cherry red shrimp is watching with interest.

Great shots Pauline.  It amazing how you get such clarity in your photos. Even the pictures that I take that I think are clear end up fuzzy and I just got new glasses. :o ??? ::) ;D ;D ;D

The freeze dried works well to get fish in a group.  The fish are very beautiful.  Barb should get some after she's moved in and set up in the new house.

I wish I knew how to work my camera as well as you know how to use yours.  You're an excellent fish photographer.

Thanks each of you. I'm glad you like these photos. Actually the pictures show the group of these little fish but not their real beauty. Dennis could post a photo of how pretty they really are.  Plus they are very tiny. There are 14 of them in a 10 gallon tank and most of the tank was cropped out of these shots.

Liz I turn dials, zoom in and out, use flash and no flash, and if I'm lucky a decent picture or two is captured.  My "senior" brain has difficulty in remembering the correct combinations of settings.   :o

Very nice photos Pauline.  They look very content and happy.  You are obviously doing a fantastic job of keeping them happy.   ;)
