Ugg my lighting reflecting is ruining my picts or is that expected?

 

[Somethings Fishy]

i am going to have to do some shooting for this one!

Top downs definitely provide a challenge to us ametuer photog's so maybe one of our EXPERTS out there could give us some pointers :noidea:

Here is my best attempts from a couple years back on my 75g, the first pic I was able to shade the reflection with my free hand using a point-n-shoot, the second pic was just the best angle I could get without getting just VHO glare.

Cheers and good luck, Todd

I am not an expert but if you use a one of theose floating view boxes then crop the image down to the size of the veiwer it would eliminate the galre from the light and any ripples in the water. a piece of clear acryllic with some black sides a couple inches high is how I have seen them at my LFS so it would be fairly easy to build from a scrap bin at an acrylic store just make sure the clear piece has no scratches =)

Beautiful!

 

[Aquanaut]

Here's my try at the top down...excuse the reflections

Colors get kinda weird when you have to dim lighting some to reduce the reflections.
