Who Says You Can't Use the Big Stopper on a Fishtank?!

220 second exposure on my tank. Not overly fancy... but I got bored.

Don't you mean fish-less tank?

Au Contraire! There are 11 Black Phantom tetras, 10 Gold Pristella tetras, 5 Coryadora Cats, 3 weather loaches, and 1 whiptail catfish in the tank.

Seems like they'd be a waste of money..

Too bad you don't have a pleco, or it would have actually been still the whole time.

The whiptail acts like a pleco, but, also like a pleco, hides all day.

When some of the fish are cats, well, you end up with no fish. Lol

This is a long exposure, so they were blurred out...

Oh OK...so that is the effect of long exposure -- obliterating everything moving. Now I understand...Thanks. I still want to see the fishies though...

The Big Stopper is a ND3 filter (I think) ... see here for more info about ND filters Neutral density filter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

thus with it making the image much more darker, you have to increase your shutter speed. As you increase your shutter speed things get blurry .. as you increase it more, things start turning into moving ghosts .. and more .. they disappear unless they were not moving.

you can experiment a bit without an ND filter by using a smaller opening aperture. Try F/8 then f/11, f/22 and notice how your shutter speed times slooooow way down and then you can get motion, blurry etc.

That's why I was able to shoot at 220 seconds and not 1/8 second.

Get a snail for your tank and re-do.
