    These were just some with my phone. I need some one who is good with cameras to come take some quality pictures. a HUGE donation of equipment is on the verge but they want quality pictures. I have a $2000.00 Pentax with multiple lenses and lights, just no clue how to use it properly./DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/ermm.gif Anyone want a crack at it?

    The camera is one part, using gel filters really helps. I got a batch from that guy the Donny posted about, but then I found out that Rose's Theatrical Supply carries these in 2' x 2' sheets for like $7. The ones I got from that guy are good for cell phone cameras got a dozen pieces that are about 2" square, the work for a DSLR also but they are hard to use, you need to hold it up with one hand and take the pic with the other.

    I would be willing to pop for several filter sheets that we could cut up and use on DSLRs to make the pictures really pop.

    Also there is that thread that I think Jeremy posted recently that linked to how to take good pics of your tanks

    I can try to take some Nick. The filter that Bud referred to would be helpful though, I think. I don't have one except for a small one that is more for cell phones. I have a macro lens for my Nikon and also the Portal which helps even more! LMK :0)
