I thought it would be great to share secrets.
How do you take your fish fotos ?
When I press the shutter button on my digital camera the camera hesitates about a second as it does some sort of calculations and then saves the picture. Of course by that time the fish I want a picture of has moved out of the way.
Well, I found out that if you push the button half way down it will do all the calculations and then when the fish is posing perefectly, I push the rest of the way down and get an instant picture.
When taking pictures of bettas, I place them in a acrilic beanny box (4"w x 4"d x 8"h) place 2 of them side by side and take their picture while they are flairing at each other. I also use colored construction paper behind them to contrast with the fishes color and make him stand out more.
I usually use a flourescent lamp above the fish and an incandescent lamp behind my left sholder and take the picture without a flash because the flash bounces off the flat surface and reflect glare back into the camera. But I am finding that the new metalic collors look better if you use a flash, so I have to angle the flat surface so that the flash does not bounce back into the picture.
