I have just got a digital camera and wanted to know how to take photos of fish. It is stressing me out now. I cant seem to take any good photos :( . Does any one know any tricks to take some good ones ?
 
Use the macro setting on your camera, and a tripod if you have one.
Try to use the tank lights as the only light source. Room lights create wierd reflections and flash often washes out the fish.
Be patient - fish are very uncooperative subjects. :roll: They either go into deep hiding when they see the camera, or they fly around the tank like madmen expecting to be fed.
Be prepared to take dozens of pictures before getting one that is decent.
 
Take a million pictures at a time, that's bound to get you at least one okay one! :p That's what I have to do.
