Practicing Fishtography

[OneFishTwoFish]

Trying to improve my "fish photography" skills. . . .

Slowly improving beyond my previous iPhone pictures.

Not easy to get these guys to pose. They don't take direction at all !

Nice images

Getting them to stay still long enough for a pic is the biggest problem I have

 

[OneFishTwoFish]

JJ, they are certainly not cooperative. I've found that the best time to get pictures is about 30 minutes after feeding. They seem to move slower for a little while.

what camera are you using? Pics look great

 

[OneFishTwoFish]

Thank You sirrealism !
Camera: Canon EOS 5D II
Lens: Canon EF 100mm Macro 2.8L

I think that the lens is more important than the camera in this case. All of the above photos are SOOC (straight out of camera) - no Photoshop, or any other sort of manipulation. I've got lots of room for improvement . . . .

Great pics!

Thanks Joey !

 

[Joeys Tank]

Hmmmm, about $3K for your camera set up?

 

[OneFishTwoFish]

Joey - it's probably closer to $3,500 at current prices. I've had Canon digital equipment for 10+ years. I enjoy family / travel photography.
