Message: <blockquote data-quote="STM" data-source="post: 115024" data-attributes="member: 12827">We have a 110 gallon salt water aquarium and I have upon occasion photographed my Black Volatan Lionfish. Leo is getting HUGE now and eats as many as 8 or 9 goldfish at one feeding, at which point he can barely swim and heads to a corner of the tank and hangs there for a couple of days until he has digested all of them. I have had a lot of success using a single strobe from above, the same direction as the tank lights. The image below was taken with a single Sunpak 544 on a stand pointing down and the D700 and my 55mm Micro Nikkor. It is important that the glass is as clean and as free of algae as possible. I place the front of the lens directly gainst the glass to prevent any reflections from getting into the image. As far as getting them to pose, as soon as I come near the tank, Leo comes right over to check me out, presumptively because he thinks I have more fish for him! [ATTACH]27322[/ATTACH]I photographed this little (about 6 feet) fishy in a nine hundred trillion gallon fishtank, the Gulf of Mexico. This female sand tiger shark followed us around like a curious puppy for the entire dive, never once acting threatening. It was a deep (therefore a decompression) dive USS Oriskany and she even followed us up to our decompression stop.  I used a Nikonos V, 28mm f/3.5 UW Nikkor and SB-102 strobe with High Speed Ektachrome. I wonder where she is now, this photo was taken about 8 years ago. She had been caught at least once, as evidenced by the tears below her left nostril. [ATTACH]27325[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
