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!!!

Yes on the rubber lens hood. Butt it right up against the glass, and because the lens hood is flexible, you can even angle the camera a very tiny bit if you need to. I use a flash on very low power handheld on a TTL cord. Wait for the fish to come to you, don’t chase. Autofocus may or may not work, all depends.
