My contest discus arrived May 19 2009, they just completed 27 weeks at my home.
Half way through the challenge and not much happening to report so thought I would just experiment with new pictures.
I have this camera, Canon EOS Digital Rebel 350D that I've been using in automatic mode and thought I could try to learn something new.
I have been trying to get the best quality pictures taken in their normal, not very bright light, without flash and still see their true colors.
These pictures were taken with no flash at ISO 400 for quality and using Shutter-Priority mode to get the fastest shutter speed with available light to get sharp pictures.
Now I know nothing about photography at all but these pictures finally appear to me to be the actual color of the discus.
Life is more challenging for me than these discus. :D Hope you enjoy the pics. :)
