My First Fish Studio Shoot!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Do you use a tripond? How many shots you actually shoot to get three super cool pics? I have tried taking pics with a sony cybershot (T - something) but the fish does not stay in one place long enough and it takes ages to zoom ... alot of time i just get my own (or surrounding) reflection on the glass (definitely a picture of flash). Any special advice please?

No I don't use a tripod, I actually rarely use a tripod
I take about 300 pictures per shoot but I only took like 50 per shoot this time
If it takes ages to zoom in then keep the camera zoomed in and just take pics, that's what I do cause fish are always on the move and I have enough trouble focusing, and try adding as much light as possible that helps more than you can imagine and no flash EVER!
and to not get your reflection don't sit right infront of your tank, stay at an angle, oh and check if there are any mirrors around you and cover them all, they reflect on the glass as well (a problem I ran into)
