Matt,these pics are awesome!
Could you give some photo technique description?.You use an external flash?.Mine was kinda rusty after many years out of use,sent it for repair.
Sure Luis. I'm using a Nikon Coolpix 8700. To take these pictures, I'm using the built in flash, and programatic (automatic) settings on the camera.
The biggest thing I've found to help the pictures turn out is to shoot from farther back. I.e. if the camera is only 6-12 inches away from the glass, I tend to get these fish looking washed out. If I stand 2-3 feet away from the tank, and zoom in to get the fish in frame, I get a more balance image. Overall though, I do capture MORE image (so the images are cropped more).
FWIW,
