How to Shoot in Aquariums?


Should a flash be used while photographing in an aquarium? I have a Fujifilm S5000 and have tried desperately to get good photos in aquariums. They either come out extremely dark or very blurred, and if I use the flash I get mostly the reflection of the flash on the glass. Thanks.

If it is dark, and you must use the flash, you have to get right up against the glass to avoid as much glare/feedback as possible. This photo was taken through a glass aquarium with the S5000.
