Thank you! Just a fun side hobby of my hobby. I used a Canon dslr camera mostly for those, but with the right lenses, a phone can take very nice photos as well. Just gotta snap a lot of pictures and don't be afraid to play with the settings and experiment!
That's awesome! I'm sure you'll figure this out too. I had no clue how to use the camera when I first bought it. But after some youtube videos and experimenting with the settings, I learned which functions do what. Also, a post editing software like Lightroom and Photoshop really help. The key is to use your artistic ability with color and shadows without overdoing it like many do. My goal is a realistic photo, with a hint of my personal interpretation, without oversaturation or contrast.
My two favorites. I still have both but older versions that don't require a subscription but still allow me process the Sony raw files.
I tried using a flash, but switched to turning up the tank lights and turning off the flow. I keep the iso as low as I can and use an f stop around 6-7. Also a tripod and remote for macro. I have a continuous shot setup also, so I can snap pics one after another by holding in the button when not using a tripod.My two favorites.

Do you use a flash at all? Just wondering because I've read of some people using one for tank shots. I have an off camera flash also which I need to learn how to use. Too many hobbies and not enough time. Never would have thought I'd say that when I retired
Those are some great, vibrant photos!Just some pictures from the past year or two. Not a professional, but I am a natural artist. Though they don't win any contests, I think the subjects speak for themselves.
I'll be checking the video out!And not to spam my channel, but I made a video for those starting out with reef photography using their phones. My goal is to help get rid of the blue pics we all know so well!
Good luck with thatMy goal is to help get rid of the blue pics we all know so well!
You know me, I'm a sucker for punishment.Good luck with that
