Aquarium photography and lighting effects.

Basically, now I am learning to take photography of my own aquarium and using lights to make different effects for viewing. Many aquarists find excitement to shoot pictures of their plants and fishes. Most hobbyist for aquascaping would also like to have their own camera. As in sub-hobby of keeping beautiful tropical fishes and plants in the tank and it's inhabitants. From what I experience in different sorts of photography with difference lighting to create lights effect on the view of the tank. In fact, it takes equal as much patience and practice as keeping the aquarium itself. Look at this picture below, which has a scene of a sunset view.















Often, the relatively dim lighting conditions, reflective light issue involving the tank itself, and the constant movement of lighting makes the art of aquarium photography to a nature view. Also one of planning, precision, timing, and sometimes even luck to get correct view.















Sometimes, indeed, the equipment can make a difference, but I've found that it's hard to beat the good-old virtues of patience and practice, especially when it comes to the art of "aquaphotography".

Look out of the extra ordinary and unique shots. Try to think how you would like the picture to look altered before you even take it. Like most styles of photography, the aquarium photographer looks to enhance the brilliant beauty often found on it's subjects.
