How to take photos at the Ocean Aquarium?

Aquarium is a family-oriented leisure place and a popular dating place. Many people want to leave the picture of fish swimming freely. But the aquarium is a place where it is difficult to take good photos. Therefore, this paper introduces some skills of aquarium photography.

Don't use the flash. The first factor that makes it difficult to shoot in the aquarium is the darkness inside. Many aquariums turn off the lights in the museum, and the lights are only used for display inside the aquarium. In addition, it is forbidden to use flash when shooting fish in the museum. Even if it is not prohibited, the flash will cause the water tank to reflect light and is not easy to use. In addition, the lighting of the aquarium is very dim, which is easy to destroy the atmosphere when taking pictures, so the aquarium tries not to use flash as much as possible.

Capture as bright light as possible for shooting. In a dimly lit aquarium, it is easier to take pictures by choosing as bright a light as possible. The South China Sea fish tank is brighter than the deep sea fish tank. Even in the same water tank, the brightness of light and the shadow of rock are different, so we should find the brightest shooting point.

If you look up a little above the fish tank, the photos you take are just like those taken in the water, full of fantasy photos. Put the sparkling water in the photo. If the camera lens can be replaced, please use the brightest lens possible. The camera that can set the f value should be the minimum value to capture as much light as possible.

Shoot fast-swimming fish to prevent camera shake. Camera shake includes camera shake, which blurs the camera itself and the main body, thus causing the camera itself to move. Although using a tripod can effectively prevent camera shake, there are many places in the aquarium where tripods are forbidden, so try to let the lens touch the glass of the aquarium. At the same time, sticking it on the glass can prevent reflection and camera shake to some extent.

You need to increase the shutter speed to prevent the moving fish from blurring. The amount of light entering is very important to improve the shutter speed. The light inside the water tank is limited, so it is adjusted by improving the ISO sensitivity of the camera. When focusing on the position to be photographed, use the exposure setting to adjust the brightness.

Have enough patience. Once you find a shooting point suitable for lighting and lens angle, please debug the camera and wait patiently for the fish to enter the best position. The swimming path of fish seems to be irregular. In fact, fish will swim along a certain route after watching for a long time, so it is best to find these points.

If you find autofocus difficult to focus, please try to use this mode to fix the focus on one point. If you can't take pictures easily, we suggest you try to keep shooting.

Correct the color of underwater photos. The light in the water tank shows a special light through the water, so it is often a color fog (due to the influence of light source, photos are often a specific color, etc.). ). When the white balance is set to auto or sunshine mode, it may appear as a light green.

When shooting in incandescent bulb mode, the whole image looks blue and is suitable for shooting in water tank.

However, if it becomes unnatural blue, then we will set the sunshine value, raise the magenta value and adopt natural color.
