took some night shots of tank, learning to use camera better.
The orange, alien looking lights in some pics are a reflection from my modem. oooops
with flash…top looking down


just moon light

Very cool!
Looks pretty neat
thanks guys. trying different ways of using the camera, practice, practice, practice. lOl
Cool shots. Do you have a top down box yet? I want to get one, but haven’t invested the money yet.
Which camera did you end up buying?
john, here’s a technique you can try for night shots
moonlight on an orange in the daytime chalice

same chalice, moonlight plus a flashlight

they aren’t the best shots as i didn’t use a tripod and i just wanted to show the possibilities of additional light. but the highlight in colors is dramatic and different. experiment a bit with someone else holding the flashlight, or with led flashlight or different angles for different effects
very nice Paul, I will try out some of those ideas.
Ellen, I bought a Nikon D60 and do not have a top down box. But I have seen photos that were taken with them and are really great for getting true colors by not having to look thru the glass.
