Oh you probably are talking about the bubble algae. :grumble::grumble:

Dang! Somebody loves their new camera!

Very nice Sarah.:)

 

[Bifferwine]

I do love it, I do!! I still have to get some kinks worked out with the photo editing though. Some of the pictures are left grainy. Maybe I crop too close? Catherine's class will help with that.

 

[stagofdoom]

If they are grainy that might be noise from your ISO setting. The higher the setting the more noise in the picture.

 

[Bifferwine]

Yeah I am using a pretty high ISO setting. Otherwise my pictures come out too dark and/or blurry.

 

[stagofdoom]

What settings are you using?

Set the aperture to the smallest number you can, that will allow the most light into the camera. Which on your 18-55 is 3.5. It will make for a more shallow depth of field but you will possibly be able to turn down the iso a little

 

[Bifferwine]

I think I have the ISO set to 800 or 1000. I'll try messing with the aperature this weekend. Thanks!

 

[stagofdoom]

No Problem. Just play around in Manual mode, you learn best that way, and the best thing with digital, dont have to pay for film

 

[Leslee]

wow Biff your pics are awesome!

Biff,Heres a tip that I learned from Catherine.
When your shooting pics,get a note and write down all your settings you used for each shot.Then you can go back and look at each one.
It'll help you figure out which settings work best in different shots.

Sooooooo, Mine is on a small rock, can i cut them off of it, or.....?

 

[Bifferwine]

Gently remove them with tweezers. Don't pop them in the tank (that's how they spread). If you can, remove the rock, and pull the bubble algae off outside of the tank.
