    lol, well that makes more sense (stands that is), duh on my part. I made a snooted strobe for pennies, lol.

    It basically creates a concentrated light source. This would serve as a beam pointed to their head and a rim light to give them that glow from behind. Now, the problem would be catching these little ones in a certain spot...

    Watch in HD! Some of the colors seem a bit washed out but I was so frustrated trying to get the video to just process that I didn't really correct anything. Here they are enjoying Spirulina Discs!

    Loved the video Matt and some of the larger ones are developing color. When you say process are you referring to YouTube? I am seeing the update and processing times are getting very long.

    Pat crazy question, how did you embed the video.

    Thanks. It was mainly my Premiere Pro that was locking up at the end of exporting. Updated that version and it works flawlessly now. But yes YouTube upload times have gotten longer, a lot has to do with being able to upload in HD and 4k now. I want to get a camera that can shoot true 4k.

    Matt, use the filmstrip icon, far right second one in next to the quote If you mouse over it will say Insert Video.

    Premiere Pro is your editing software?

    Thanks!

    Yes I use Premiere Pro. Still teaching myself things so i'm just sorta proficient at it. Eventually I'll cave and buy an apple laptop and will probably switch to Final Cut Pro, but until then...

    Matt, my dad is a longtime apple fan and he loves the picture and video editing software which comes as part of the OS.

    Some photos from today, these things are sucking down the food and really seem to be putting on some weight, maybe its just me. Their color is really coming out though thats for sure. Have a few in there that really show it....males?

    Here are some photos from today.

    Wow, I don't think you could have color coordinated your fish and your rocks any better. Beautiful photos and fish.
