    Need camera advice!!

    The darker clothes dont reflect in the glass as much as lighter colored clothes do. Think of a backdrop for a portait...it mutes the light

    Need camera advice!!

    Another Tip would be to focus the camera on an object roughly the same depth as the target in the tank, this will allow you to get a better focused picture with the camera. Also make sure no lights are on around the tank and wear darker colored clothing while shooting.
