This episode shows you how we take pictures of our planted tanks. The subject of the day is the 450 liters (150x60x50 cm) contest tank. So today’s video will show you the basics of contest tank photography. You’ll learn about the lighting, camera setups, lens, and many other useful tips. Join us!
NOTE: At 3.55 we mixed up the two graphics. The first image is 16 mm, the second is 50mm. Wider lens stretch out the space, things in the background will look smaller.

what are those epiphyte plants
Hi. Can I ask you a question? I bought a Sony camera and choosing a lens now . Candidates are 24mm and 16-35mm. Which one should I buy? I want to take a picture of a 60 to 120cm tank. The purpose is iaplc! + thx for all videos
What plant is on the bonsai?
can we actually do this kind of photoshop editing.
Hey team, IAPLC 2021 ENTRY WILL BE STARTING SOON,i have a doubt.
As per iaplc photo submission rules : "Image must not be processed by way of trimming, reversal and retouching, etc."
Can we process the image like making it straight, fix brightness and contrast and sharpness. But obviously not photoshopping the fish or plants or hardscape. Is it allowed or we should just submit how the camera captured image.
the cam gear exceeds the value of my nano tank
9:46 😀
Did this aquascape enter the contest?
so for IAPLC You can work your images with lightroom?
Thanks frome Egypt 😊Green Aqua for the great consisting efforts to deliver such this helpful and pleasing video for both photography and aquascaping.
Great video! I watched several times, may I know which light you used at back of the tank on the tree? I am looking for some light I can light up the background when taking photo. Thanks
Is this scape still up and running?
Interested if the reineckii mini survived.
Would love to make something similar
First off, that's a gorgeous Garden of Eden shot! So pretty. Did you enter it in the IAPLC contest? How did you do? Secondly, I wondered how you photographed these tanks and I learned alot here. Thank you.
Me deja desconcertado saber que las fotografías son retocadas con programas.
it is really good experience for everyone. but i ever thought that we could not adjust color of the photo. am i wrong? hmmmm…! and i wonder, if we adjust the color of the photo, it will make the photo is no more real as it should be. how can it be acceptable?
Taking this picture would be hectic enough, video recording it while inserting that car crash sound must have been a hell march. Thank you guys!!! Pure pleasure.
Loved this video, awesome work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Learned a lot from you guys!
And dose IAPLC allows you to
Post editing such as Crop, Adjust White balance , brightness & contrast?
If not, can you kindly explain which contests dose allow post editing & up to what level of edits.
Loved it
Nice content.. Tanks sir
What rank does this layout got in iacpl 2019??
Do I understand correctly that the photos may not be edited in the iaplc contest? So no color corrections and cropping as shown in the video?
From their site: Image must not be processed by way of trimming, reversal and retouching, etc. Do not delete the Exif information.

Hahahaha, this was really good, I like the most when you clapping the hands on Tomy face 🙂 🙂 🙂 , actually Tomy is reminding me one of my colleague , which is lets say not the best diplomat , but you would like to have him in space shuttle when something gose wrong 🙂
Great team work !
