[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 847325, member: 50197"] Have you looked at articles and videos on aquarium photography? I could probably hazard a few suggestions, but never having attempted this type of photography, I would be guessing at best. I noticed that Youtube has a number of videos. Obviously, you have to take their advice with a grain or two of salt, but they can frequently provide a lot of things to think about and try. The main question I have is are you editing your photos? I would think some of the issues you bring up could be handled, at least in part, in post processing. For example, the dark shadow detail can often be recovered fairly easily in post. Digital sensors are quite tolerant of underexposure, not so much with overexposure, hence frequent issues with blown out highlights. Of course, additional lighting would easily take care of shadows, although glare on the glass would have to be dealt with. There are always trade offs. [/QUOTE]
