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've done it (way back in the film days) reasonably successfully by being in a dark room and adding an off-camera strobe either from above or from one side.

The big lens hood is a good idea or you can just use a jacket or blanket over your head and the front of the talk to block reflections.
