i find it very challenging to shoot big aros!

anyways i fired the flash remotely like a fish tank light and used a 100mm macro. a lot of trial and error

i shot bigger fellas with 50mm f1.8 too...quite decent

I have to agree with Koji that no flash photo taking in a well lighted tank capture better image than the use of external flash. Sometimes the direction of the flash also creates undesirable reflection.

hey there, i beg to differ. flash rocks.

i think you're refering to flash from the camera that is reflected off the glass. good point there, cheers!

Hey those are great lighting tips. Thanks for sharing!

If you guys are shooting with digital SLRs, you can try using a circular polarizer filter to help reduce glass reflections and it helps make the colors richer too.
