Fish Photography

Taking pictures of fishes is not an easy task. The best pictures can be taken if you dive into their natural space. But for that you need special equipment and diving skills, unless you happen to be in an underwater aquarium.

Another option is to visit high quality aquarium as in Monterey, CA and take your photos from the other side of a glass.

  1. You need to avoid reflections of natural light

  2. Try not to use flash, or use it carefully
      so the reflection will not be seen

    3. Be patient till the fish will show you his best side
