Hi all! Kind of a strange question. I need to photograph fish in fish tanks (they live in water contained by glass and acrylic). Do anyone have any suggestions with what to do? Lighting is often horrible in a fish store. Not sure if flash is useful? Thanks!!!
Through glass isn’t bad as long as it’s 90 degrees. The biggest issue is lightning - anything you preview on the camera looks like garbage because it won’t WB beyond 10kK so take a lot. Everything needs to be white balanced post. It Also tends to under expose on heavy blue so bump your EV comp a bit. Always shoot at 90 degrees and use a rubber hood.
Shot this through 10mm glass under 18,000K lighting with cheap amateur gear: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReefTank/comments/ksmz50/macro_of_my_little_yellow_rug/
