Studio Shoot: The 200gal Tank

[Will Hayward]

Fantastic work. They look great.

If you really want critique then, I'll offer one suggestion. Shadowed photos with a black background look very striking, but I think that real mastery of animal photography lies in achieving the best background behind them in very soft focus to compliment the colour or position of the subject.

[alcohologist]

really only first, ~third~ and fourth work for me. i agree, y'should use two strobes a little higher than what you did here.

i like how the ornate looks like a gar. fourth photo. haha.

I'm telling you, POTM! I love the deep shadows.

great pics, definately POTM material!

Thanks, I'm thinking about entering

Wow!! Personally I think you need a lot more practice.This set of pics is so lacking in quality. We would appreciate it if you would no longer post any more pics as you are making the rest of us look bad

You use an L series Glass gal or no...

They are excellent shots and nicer than anything I can produce-
The 2 strobes I believe will give a better affect....Could certainly be wrong though...

The first shot I love-But would like the hot spot of the lighting to be fixed...
Some of the shadows is great-And acouple are just not working for me....
But overall like I said-Better than I can do...

Great round of shots Gal-Once again..

Using the Canon 70-300mm USM IS

I'll be trying 2 strobes today and will see how it turns out, and thanks

AK, im going to say no on the red ringed lens'... but we shall see. Im interested...

Amazing depth! Phenominal, i enjoy viewing your shots bc it seems everytime you get a little better, or pick up on something new.. you can tell.

Nice.

Not a red ring lens, but an awesome lens nonetheless
and thanks won't get anything but better, I have a long way to go I'm still only 16

When I grow up, I just want to be like you as a photographer.

Practice makes perfect

Just asking, are those fish? can't tell from the pics.

Last time I checked they are fish

Nope, but I got about $3000 USD worth of equipment and going
I'll thank my mom for all that

Knife pic is awesome

Thanks
