Hacknet is not joking. Flash is essential but we don't mount flash on camera when shooting aquarium. In fact for better effect, like better DOF or sharper image for macro shots of fish, it is neccessary to use several flash guns as slaves on top and at angles pointing to the tank and fire from a...

I also notice that it takes very short time to fully charged from 1/3 bar, say less than an hour.

Yes, I believe so. If we are lucky, the electronic device once dried up, can still function. Now I recall my handphone had dropped into a toilet bowl before but still usable (after thorough clean before use). Also, my stereo was drenched in rain during my school days many years ago when we had...

Hi Benny, great to see you here. Even your flash needs servicing ? or your camera & lens? For all who have shown concerns today, thanks for your comment and advice. I wonder whether you believe this:--- the flash has just come alive!:bigeyes: I tried the dead flash again just now and i...

Sure, jkaiser, will give an update whether I scrap it or repair it. It is very sad if the negligent was done by our part and this foolish incident serves to remind everyone not to be careless with their equipments;(

Ok, I feel better now after reading that a 600mm f4 IS was found swimming in a pond :confused: Compared to my humble 550EX. Thanks for the replies. I was taking some pictures for my planted tank with flash on top, triggered by ST-2E flash transmitter. Thereafter, I adjusted something in the...

My 550EX flash dropped into fish tank due to my negligence :cry: It has been 3 days and still can't fire. Do you think it is worthwhile to repair it? Does anyone has the same experience?

I was using Tamron 17-50 f2.8, fully zoomed in for the snap. Would I get a cleaner image if I get a 50mm f1.8 to take close up shots of my dog like the one above given the same conditions? Pardon me, trying to learn from sifu here :lovegrin:

Ok, I will watch out ISO next time instead of choosing ISO auto. I don't know the quality. I merely converted original Raw-s size to JPG and then reduced the size down 40% to upload gallery for this site. Roger and noted. I believe it was underexposed as I had to up the curve to brighten...

Oh, sorry, left out these details:- 1/30sec, ISO 640 (on iso auto), f2.8 (AV mode). No flash and relying on room FL light.

Thanks for your prompt reply, bro. Not only on LCD of camera, but after downloading on PC, the images were sharp and clear. It became grainny after images converted to JPEG. This is the 'After' JPEG image. I am still struggling on how to download raw-s image to gallery. So sorry. Newbie here.

I used a 40D to take Raw-s images and thereafter downloaded from camera to PC and opened images via Digital Photo Professional ver 3.1 (DPP). Adjusted RGB curve and sharpness. Thereafter I converted adjusted Raw-s images to JPEG and save to 'my picture'. However, the JPEG saved is really noisy...
