aquarium photography
Being new to the interest of photography of aquariums and also new to my Canon EOS it would be nice if others who have been shooting their tanks for a while to help out with the settings needed to take nice shots of our tanks when lights are on and when they are off. I am also new to salt so kinda frustrating when I try to take pics of my tank when lights are out but I know there is action going on in tank. Don't want to upset everyone inside with flash. Even tried utube and not much help!

The biggest rule to follow is use a tripod and shoot perpendicular to the glass. Shoot with the lights on and with the highest possible shutter speed.
Don't bother ever trying to shoot with a flash unless you can get it off camera and above the tank. Any on camera flash will reflect off the glass. Lastly, always shoot raw! So u can fix anything later. Mainly white balance |

I don't know if it holds true or not but I was also told to make sure the rest of the room is black, the only light in the room coming from the tank itself. I've seen some pretty nice pictures with ambiant light in the room, maybe being back just makes it easier.

and do yourself a huge favor and turn all the pumps off and let the water settle. This will result in less debri to clone out in post.
