Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Time Lapse (Advanced Editing VI ("Time Lapse")*)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro
Location: Johnson City, New York
Date: Jan 5, 2008
Aperture: approx f3.2
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/125
Galleries: Animals
Date Uploaded: Jan 5, 2008

 Shot Raw, Macro, hand held, rapid fire at camera max for 8 shots. Used 3 shots for the composite. Difficult to place fish. Strong currents in tank make for a lot of movement. Looking at all the photos, think I'm close to the movement of the fish.

Manic: okay, those fish all look alike. how are we supposed to know this is time lapse?

ursula: they all look alike? Are you prejudiced?

Manic: yes, I have fish prejudice. That's why I eat them.

ursula: EWWW!

Adorable clown fish, super marine shot.

if someone looked at this who didn't know it was time lapse of one fish, i think it could easily be mistaken for 3 different fish. i like how it's composed and you did a great job putting it together.

Good one, nice colors.

Nemo? Nemo?? I'm thinking using a greater DOF on this would help as some spots of the fish are spot on, but others are OOF.

Great Capture

I wish your shutter speed were just a bit faster to eliminate subject blur.

Nice composition but the colour doesn't look quite right and the front fish is out of focus.

Very nice colours on the fish. My only critique would be the lack of focus on the face in the last two captures, but overall, I still really like the photo. 6 from me.

Very clear - how'd you do it?

Very nice, could be sharper.

Just lacking sharpness unfortunately, really bright/sharp/constrasty coloured fish against the dull/blurred background would have been great to see. You also have a bit of purple fringing would could easily have been supressed.

Interesting shot. I wish the bottom fish was in focus a little more.

Beautiful. I love it. This very well may get top 20. I think that you may have done better if your colors were brighter; if the orange stood out more from the coral. (my monitor is calibrated). Other than that, I love the idea and the composition. It must have took forever to get a shot of this guy, especially through glass.

Would work better if all the fish were as well captured as the leftmost specimen, but I know fish are tough to shoot in their dim little tanks.

I like the orange of Nemo with the yellow of the corral

Must say, you've trained that fish well ;-) Great colours.

Very nice composition, and beautiful colors and contrast. I like the image. The focus bothers me a little, and I'm not that picky about focus. The combination of motion blur and shallow DOF causes me to strain to bring it in clearer.

NEMO! Great set of shots here. Wish the motion blue wasn't as pronouned in the front fish. I am sure this was challenging, as most aquarium shots are. 7.

This would have been much stronger if you could have gotten all captures in complete focus. I like ht concept of the shot. The captures would have been great in the sense of color and contrst.
