[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 27480, member: 6548"] I came into the photography via the aquarium hobby. Basically I bought an old Zeiss microscope to study the aquaria which led to Zeiss Ikon cameras which led to Nikon...etc... Some of the best aquarium photos I have ever seen were made by a girl named Angelique Roos aka Plukeenroos from the Netherlands with a Sony P&S camera (you can google her and find her shots they are incredible). Her biggest secret in making the photos successfully was that she used the continous shooting/burst mode. The fish will dart about making some species much harder to capture than others. Burst mode is a fantastic tool to deal with this problem. I can't agree with Joseph more on the angle of attack between camera and glass issue. That is an old standard rule of aquarium photography. You will discover that many aquaria are very well lit particulary in big public aquariums which really helps the photographer tremendously. If you have time run to Wal Mart or the pet store today and practice a little. [/QUOTE]
