A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Photographing fish (alien.top)

Hi all! Kind of a strange question. I need to photograph fish in fish tanks (they live in water contained by glass and acrylic). Do anyone have any suggestions with what to do? Lighting is often horrible in a fish store. Not sure if flash is useful? Thanks!!!

I think the best lighting if the tanks aren't lit well enough would be a couple of underwater compatible led strips that you could put maybe in the front corners inside the tank and then try to block out any external light with the hoods people have mentioned but also turning off all other lights and closing blinds if appropriate.
