True, but previously I shot using D80, so shooting without flash was not an option. But if TS tank's lighting is adequate, with his current system, should be suffice without flash.

Base on the current camera technology, existing lights in the tank should be sufficient.

Took these a few years back for fun. Shot using SB600 infra sync with cam using pop up flash. Switch off all lights, modify a card board to block the pop up flash to cut off reflections on the tank. SB600 on top of tank. If you've got a wireless flash trigger, it'll be much easier. Hope...

Eeerrr, I thought that to be in a photography business, it's really a tough job. You have to be there physically behind that camera to take that picture. You can't just delegate someone, or employ any Tom, Dick or Harry to ensure for you, and make sure that the picture he or she took is what you...

Hmmm, just thought everytime we shoot, irregardless whether RAW or jpg, we'll try to get the right exposure and colour balance as much as we can. Good thing about our current technology, by looking at the pics from the cam, we roughly know how much details or post processing we can do to spice...

Most hobbyist doesn't really bothers about the cost of their gears. As long as they are able to get their gears and be happy with what they want, do some jobs to recover the costs, it's already good enough for them.

Errr, but correct me if I'm wrong, this shot seems to me you are not using any flash at all. The background and your subject exposure seems the same. U may want to check your settings again.

Good try.. If you have the time to setup with tripod, take a few similar shots with different exposures, merge them in HDR. Should looks great.

Equipments should be your least concern. You should be concentrating on your position, angles and the available lights.

If you intend to use a light source to light up your subject. speed lights are worth the investment and easy to use. Regards the quality of pics, It all depends what type of diffusers or modifiers you want to use. There is no right or wrong, it all depends on your preference and how you want...

I find your gears are good enough. Just need to go out and shoot, practice more.

Who wouldn't love to setup lights to shoot. But sometimes, it's just not practical to do it.

No worries, just keep shooting. ;)

I started trying shooting manual with flash in TTL. In the beginning, the settings were wrong, shots looked really bad. I analyzed every bad shot that I took and understand why and where these shots went wrong and learnt how to improve them. Slowly realized even sometimes flash in TTL mode, it...

Get a wide lens to shoot scenery. A macro lens if you are into flowers, insects, butterflies, etc. Should be suffice.

Agree. Quite all rounder as well.

Get the G1.8 lens. You won't regret. :)

Din really tried and compare both, But I'm totally awed by the sheer amount of details in D800.
