A few ideas

[kaiser]

Hi I took a few pictures and I'm looking for a few ideas on what to do better I use a very low end camera that was in my price range I have to use the flash to get a sharp picture my canon A70 is not the best for fish pictures I have tried to use the white paper in front of the flash and nothing turns out.

this picture os to dark I bought a len adapter for my camera and got a few filters to improve the close up on my macro but the flash is blocked by the adapter and the flash screws up the the shot.

Er.. I think this should be in the aquatic photography gallery or in the Photography 101.

It's more of a lighting issue and a lens adaptor problem. Not so much of a critique of either photos.

In any case, the first picture could benefit from a radically tight crop. The second is obviously focused on the rock.

Cheers,
