Pictures in an Aquarium


Hello everyone,
I will be visiting an aquarium this weekend. Does anyone have a few tips for getting good photos inside the aquarium? Thank you in advance to everyone who takes the time to respond.

  Some things that helped me was first to turn the flash off.Second, get in close enough to eliminate your reflection in the glass.Third you can use macro on the smaller fish and focus real close.One more thing that helps is to meter the light inside the tank if you don't feel comfortable dong that you can (depending on you camera ) use a program mode (don't use auto focus though, it will try to focus on the glass alot). If your camera has shutter priority mode i'd use it too so you could hand hold your shots...hope I helped.

  Justin, thank you for the information. I think I will using shutter priority and getting close to the glass. If I set my camera to night (due to low lighting inside) it will automatically pop up the flash. Again thank you for the info and your time.
