Pictures

[kaycar]

How do you guys take good pics of fish in an aquarium? I have a good digital camera, but I have a hard time getting good pics of my fish. I try taking pics with the flash on and that works to an extent but usually what I want in the picture gets consumed by the huge reflexion of the flash. I try it without the flash on and with the tank light shining and the fish look dull and seem to blend it to the rocks in the tank. I can't seem to figure out how to get a good pic, and have begun to wonder if my only option is to go get a disposible waterproof camera and try to get pics with that.

Any suggestions?

Don't use the flash directly at the tank. Postion it to the glass at a 45' angle.
Even better, don't use a flash at all. Have good tank lighting and you won't need to bother. You can also try adjusting the brightness settings on your camera.

Or you could get a webcam, put it in a sealed clear box and weigh it down in the tank. It's been done...
