Sunburst Molly Today certainly was a day for indoor photography with 60mph wind gusts and none stop rains pounding the pavement I wasn't going to subject my camera equipment (or myself) to those elements. Instead I focused my Pentax K200d mounted to the Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL lens on the wildlife of our aquarium. With my Pentax K200d in macro mode using a tripod and on camera flash I set the sweet spot of focus on the bottom of the tank and waited for the fish to come in to frame. I certainly wish I had more patience to stand there longer, this still took over 20 frames before getting anywhere close to a fish in focus and framed decently. The on camera flash makes the shadow very contrasty here and the depth of field is very shallow - for instance the fish to the left of the frame was less than an inch closer to the lens but is completely out of focus. Perhaps a lesson on photographing fish is needed.

My blog is an amateur photography one, and I try to relate to some facts that I found around me, such as love, or childhood.
This picture that you have taken is beautiful, with the different colors applied, and only though the picture, I can imagine how beautiful it is over there.
Being an amateur photograph too, I would like to have some tips for example which settings do you use, how do you proceed to take those pictures, and even more.
Hope to see you soon :)
