Looking for photo tips


Bob

Recommended Posts

I have been given a 3.2 Megapixel camera and I want to start taking some fish photos. Any really elementary advice for a rookie? Any need for concern for flash upsetting fish? How to reduce reflections etc. Any quickie simple advice would be very welcome; I promise to share my results on the boards.

1) White balance - make sure to set it based on your tank lights

2) Use a tripod. To get good stop action you'll want shutter speed 1/100 or faster...

 

 

There are my first two tips :)

What shutter speed do you use for full tank shots? As opposed to fish shots? Do you use a tripod for fish shots?

Typically with full tank shots I shoot 1/100 or higher...

 

I almost always use a tripod.
