Getting Good Photos Of Your Fish

[deanrar]

I'v tried many times to get decent photos of my fish but i just can't, can any1 give any help or a run through of how to get them.
heres what most of mine look like:

They look green because of the plants or a bit yellow because of the lights and I loose all the fishes colour.

It may also help your photos if you have a plain background outside your tank [sponge bob?] Like a piece of black card say. Anything else makes the picture too busy and it's hard to actually see the fish.

I find that setting iso. 400, use a flash, never take photo face on, always at an angle to avoid flash bounce-back. Also if you have macro setting and manual focus, try using that and touch lense on glass. Then focus on something in the tank and wait for a fish to pass that point, with a little practice you get good results. Finally. most basic editing programs alow you to crop etc...it's not cheating, honest!

Here are some of my earlier attempts, not sure about the background on yours BTW.
No comparison on some in this forum though....I've seen some stunners!!
