 Taken at a co-worker's aquarium. Took about 150 shots and discovered that shooting fish in an aquarium is REALLY HARD. This one was fairly still, but some of his smaller fish were a pain in the neck to capture in focus. Enjoy!

Thanks for the comments all--especially CalliopeKel (although my name is Don, not Brad :o)). This was indeed a more dimly-lit freshwater tank. Here is a shot of his saltwater tank (this guy owns 3 tanks), with the nightlights on. With the regular lights on, it is much brighter than the tank above, to keep the coral alive. Calliope--sounds like this is quite a hobby for you too! Here is the other tank:



Feel free to comment on that shot as well. I will post more aquarium pix very soon. Thanks!

Marine tanks are usually better lit. The lights to keep a coral reef alive are like 3x stronger than freshwater aquariums so yes, better lighting would make for better fish piccys. Great pics Brad.

Aquariums are hard to shoot in huh?
This one is a keeper though, with nice lighting on the tail.
I've only tried once and can appreciate this: Nemo1 and Nemo2

Thats a Gold Serevrum. Nice fish.

I have a few tanks myself. Fish are really hard to get good pics of because of low light, glass, and movement. Check out my fish portraits here - Fish Pics

Beautiful lighting. The black backdrop showcases his variations of gold and yellow so well!
