cool looking fish .. i had a snakehead a long time ago and oh man was he a A** .. they are mean fish .. and sure can eat .. and he was bought as a sweet lil eel type fish ...lol..
what kind of camera do u have ???.. i have a olympus C740 UZ and ive been able to take some kool pics in the tank.. here is a lil photo 101 ..
Here are the big things to remember when photographing (anything)
F-Stop: These are the numbers on your lens. They usually range from 1.2 to 32-ish. The lower the number, the less in focus. For instance, tou take a picture of a fish at F-1.2 and only the fish will be in focus. You have a very small focal plane. If you have all your lights on and use let's say F16, your fish and rocks will all be in focus. An additional trick, the higher the F-Stop, the sharper the picture.
Shutter Speed: This ranges from possibly 1/4000th of a second to up to 8 seconds for a single exposure. The higher the fractional number, the more light which is required to take the shot. An additonal must know is 99% of people can not hand hold any exposure under 1/60th of a second.
Tripod Use: Personally, I am a tripod fanatic. I have 8 of them. I rarely take an exposure without one. I also always use a remote shutter control as well. (No vibration makes the picture sharper). Again, for the shots from 1/60th of a second to 8 second time lapse, you must use a tripod.
and also if you are still gettin to much glare from the flash .. use a piece of plastic like from milk jugs cut to about the size of your flash and hold it infront of your flash while you take the pic ..it will help diffuse the flash some ..
hope this kinda helps ya .
