Let's Get Tanked

Uploaded: January 16, 2004 17:56:32

Description

Fish and tank were taken separately. 1/125 sec, digital ISO=50, f.8.0, 420EX Speed light external flash pointed straight up and reflected back into tank on other side of glass via white paper held above. This presented reflection on glass of camera, as well as reflection of scales and water born particles from being hi-lighted. Photoshop 7.0 used with lasso selection tool to mask fish, gradient transparency masking used to fade rear of fish into darkness, Plus other minor tweaks.
