Hi, I hope I am posting in the right area. My husband is taking me to the new Ripley's Aquarium for my birthday in March. So I have some time to figure out if it is worth taking my camera and trying some shots. So I looked it up online and the advice I got was this:
Use a macro. He suggested a 40 but I own a 60 so that is what I will use.
Use a rubber lens hood so I can put it right against the glass to block light that causes reflection.
Shoot in manual with auto ISO at 1/125 at f5.6 and auto white balance.
These are to me pretty specific but it was someone who teaches a class on photography at an aquarium somewhere in the states. (First Google hit that I came to that sounded fairly creditable).
So I thought I would ask any of you who may have experience. Does this sound good. Any tips? I will possibly try this out ahead of time if I can find a pet store that will let me try.
I am pretty excited to be going!
