Hi
I need to improve my aquarium fish shots & am finding lighting an issue. The below shot was taken in a display tank with 2 strong LED light units. Even then, I'm dealing with only f8 for DoF - I'd like a few more stops. I cannot use flash for fish - they do not have eyelids & it would startle them.
Is there a way I can use flash with modelling lights only? Can I do this with Nikon Speedlights or would I need full studio units?
