What are the skills to take pictures of the fish in the fish tank?

Because ordinary glass glows and affects shooting, I choose to shoot at night, turn off all the lights at home and close the curtains. Of course, the fish tank should also be cleaned. Leave only the lamp of the fish tank, so that the cylinder wall will not reflect light. You can improve the shutter by strengthening the light in the fish tank when shooting. There is also some information that it is unrealistic to shoot the lens directly on the fish tank. Don't mention the trouble of focusing. I dare not take risks just by letting the camera touch the fish tank. It is easy to dirty or even hurt the lens, which is not worth the loss.

I seldom use the flash, because the light parallel to the lens will weaken the fish's sense of volume, and I generally don't use it without an off-board flash.

Special requirements should be considered separately, for example, the flash used by the gold master can reflect its special metallic feeling.

It is difficult to learn whether fish is good or not, and the photographer's aesthetic ability will be reflected here. All Jin Yong's novels can write so many words in this respect, so I won't say it. How do you feel in the future? Write it bit by bit.

Let you pay attention to yourself, what is the relationship between the subject and the background of a good photo. Analyze it, and soon you will have your own experience.

Camera settings,

1, try low ISO shooting. The lower the ISO, the smaller the particles and the less irritating. However, the exposure time will be increased, which should be selected according to the shutter speed and aperture value to achieve the appropriate setting. Suggestion: digital SLR should not exceed 400, DC machine should not exceed 200.

2, shutter, try to choose a high-speed shutter, because the fish is always swimming, if the shutter is low, you will get a blurred photo. Generally, the bucket should be above 30, and skilled 15 or 8 can also shoot well.

3, aperture, each lens has the best aperture, which we amateurs don't need to know. But in order to get a complete and clear picture of the fish, we can choose to use a smaller aperture to increase the depth of field, so that the whole fish is in the depth of field, so that we can get a clear picture of the whole fish. Unless the length of fish exceeds the depth of field, we can't control it.

The most important one, I forgot to say ~ ~ ~ sweat last time! !

4, exposure compensation, this is my experience in using digital cameras for several years. All the digital cameras I have played with are slightly overexposed (not less than 100), so exposure compensation is particularly important. Basically, my camera has been setting the exposure at-1/3 for many years, and the exposure is basically correct. Many times, I will reduce the number by -2/3 or even-1 according to the site conditions. While reducing the exposure, the shutter will speed up, making it easier for you to take clear photos. Of course, there are also works with vague but beautiful pictures, but that's not simply recording a fish, it's creating a picture. In short, there is a saying in the circle of playing photography that taking digital photos is better than nothing!

5, the use of digital camera white balance We often take pictures because of the color temperature of the scene lighting, and the color of the photos taken is biased. Now most digital cameras have manual white balance. Here we teach you how to use white balance. First, under the scene light, take a picture of white paper and get a picture with color tendency. Choose manual white balance, choose the picture just taken as a reference, and we can shoot the color we see. If you think the color temperature of the scene is ideal, you can also choose a white picture as a reference, which can restore the color temperature of the scene.

6, tripod can be used, because the quality of hand-held photos can not be compared with that of tripod, especially in poor light.
