Thanks all of my tanks are painted black I use a Nikon D40 DSLR camera using the close up function with a lower speed flash I also use my smaller lens 55mm x 18mm for close ups this allows me to auto focus on fish closer to me basically fish at the front glass which in theory allows me to focus on an object and shuts out the back ground.


Thanks clgkag

Nice camera

How do you get no glare? Because the flash is metered down or do you use an aftermarket flash?

Also did you shoot these during the day with light or at night with just your tank light?

I like that idea of the blacked out background. Im guessing its mostly your painted back that makes your photos that way.

It gives a total natural effect that makes it look like the shots were taken in a natural environment :beer:

Hey Jack D thanks my friend, the setting i use is the flower setting I usually shoot photos at night with the lights off, i also at times turn off the flash as well just using the tanks lighting but really its the camera quality plus not to mention i will take about 50 photos and only keep like 5 of them. My SD card holds a thousand photos so i have a lot of room for error.

Every now and then i will get a glare if i angle the camera pointing up so i usually try to photo while pointing the camera downwards or from the side, I use the auto focus as well..
