Paracheirodon innesi - The common Neon Tetra

[benny]

Hi guys,

Took some pictures of the common neon tetra last week so I though I'll share them here.



Here's a tighter crop for more details.



Subject should be about 1.5 cm.

Cheers,

Great colours and sharpness. Is your lighting setup similar to hwchoy's - 2 flashes and ST-E2?

Amazing shots. Thanks for sharing! 

[evershine]

Am in agreement with Klose!  I don't think he use the same setup as hwchoy.

[hwchoy]

more or less the same set up, but we always vary a little depending on the situation and lazidom.

well Done!

Thanks for the kind words guys.

The principle behind the setup is the same, although the details may vary. This is indeed shot with 2 flash. Ideally, it should be 6.

Cheers,

the flashes actually are doing alot of harm on them...

kel,

Thanks for your comments.

hmm.. sounds like you are a real expert on freshwater tropical ornamental fishes from your second statement. I, I'm sure as would hwchoy, would love to hear you share your expert views on the effects of using photographic flashes on aquarium fishes. I'm sure it would not be just one of those "I just think that it harms them" kind of reply, but something of substance that we can share with the rest of the aquatic photographers around the world.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,

nicely done, the details and sharpness after the crop is still classy finish.
