Lovely Ranchus !

Brought the kids down to Plaza Singapura last Saturday, as I wanted to terminate and return my Starhub digital set-top box (getting too expensive).


Anyway, was wondering in basement 2 and came across these lovely Ranchus. I remembered my mom likes to keep goldfish and there was always a ranchu that did somersaults. And I'm always fascinated when they did their little trick.



Common problem when people take photographs of fish (or anything else) in a tank, or behind/near glass. The flash always blankets out everything.

If the tank is bright enough, turn off the flash. Of course, your hands would have to be very steady. If not, use a tripod.

If using flash is unavoidable, take the photo at an angle to the right or left, and not directly in front of the subject. In this way, at least most of the flash is reflected away from the camera.

Spot the Fishball Head !

Can you Spot the Fishball Head ?


This usually happens when you let the camera decide all the settings under the Auto mode. The background gets correct exposed and the foreground (your subject) is in the shadows.


What you'd need to do, is to 'tell' the camera to overexpose the shot. Usually, you can find the buttons label +/- 'EV'. For this shot, I overexposed the shot by +1 EV. The background becomes very bright, and your subject comes out of the shadows.


If you do not want the background to be too bright, then what you can do, is to 'force' your camera to fire the flash.


Usually, when you set to Auto mode, in such lighting conditions, the camera knows that it is bright enough, and so will not fire the flash.


Look for the 'Lightning' symbol (they usually use this symbol to denote the flash settings button) and press it until you see the lightning symbol appear (it willl sometimes cycle through a red eye, a lightning symbol with a no entry sign, etc).Once you see the lightning symbol, it means that the flash will fire regardless of the lighting conditions.


However, your subject will appear to be 'pasted' onto the photo. This is especially so if your subject is moving.

One more movement and you'll be on your way to becoming a Jus-Tin-Do master yourself!
