Have you ever tried to take a photograph of your aquarium or the inhabitants in it that resulted in a complete disaster? Maybe on a fluke you shot from the hip and wham -- what a great shot! The question is, do you know what you did to make it happen? The answer is, probably not!
Photography Tips from Janet: - Be sure the glass, both inside and outside, is clean.
- Turn off the flash and use only tank lighting. I have both VHO's and Metal Halides and find sometimes I get better results if I turn the halides off (especially when taking a picture of something higher up in the tank).
- If the object is close enough, use a macro setting. However, I've found, as you can see in the Bubble Coral photo below, the thickness of the glass in the 120 gallon tank tends to distort objects more with a Macro setting.
- If you're trying to get pictures of a fish, focus on a spot and wait for it to swim into view.
- Take more than one picture so you can select the best.
- If necessary, use a good photo editing software (such as Adobe Photoshop) to adjust the color of the pictures - the blue light sometimes needs to be toned down.
