splendidbetta Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hi all I have been trying to get some photos of my daphnia since my current betta spawn was hatched...but the photos always came out blurry so a few days ago I tried again, in the most uncomfortable and certainly impossible position -leaning over my wide tank-desk partially leaning on the daphnia tank to take photos of the daphnia that i have on the window sill in a kritter keeper. but, I got the best shots I think any one could get with the camera I have. certainly any slight blurring would be due to the damn-slow shutter speed of my camera and the constant jumping of the daphnia... but the quality of the photography is for you to decide...what do you think? any way, enjoy the photos sorry if this is in the wrong section...if it is, im ok with it being moved...

Figure_8 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Excellent photos Stefan! They look quite creepy up close don't they?! :thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren MacFish Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Wow! I've always wondered what Daphnia look like... now I only wonder what they look like when they're normal-sized! My digital camera now belongs to a plane cleaner. I hope the USB and the battery charger cost her thousands! :thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splendidbetta Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 :) Hi all what do you think of these shots? these were the best out of 70 shots Daphnia kave only 1 eye, and are apparently bivalves in the anatomy of their carapace The photos I have just posted here clearly show this '> '> '> '> what do you think of them/my photos ?

splendidbetta Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hi All I took these shots a few weeks ago. I think I am getting better at taking close-ups, and hopefully I will be able to take some awsome pics of new-born fry and embryos in my next spawn Think of these daphnia as practise... What do you think of these ones? '> '> '> :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren MacFish Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Very impressive... now show me a life-sized daphnia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 :(( Very impressive... now show me a life-sized daphnia. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ha ha ha Well, to show you how big a Daphnia really is, I had to minimise the daphnia in the 3rd photo in my last post. Daphnia rarely get larger than that, and most are usually half that size But you can still see the detail in life-sized daphnia, minimising the large photo melted all the features I hope that answers your question Bren? They are extemely tiny I'm not sure but maybe a google search will help, thats what I'm about to do, Catchya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren MacFish Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 That's really small on a laptop... mind you after staring at betta fry and microworms and infusoria cultures... it's about as small as I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
