As most aquarists and photographers have experienced, picking up a camera and taking high quality, visually stunning photographs of aquariums and their inhabitants can be quite a challenging task. There are a multitude of difficulties that a would-be aquarium photographer might encounter, including low light levels, cloudy water and reflections on the glass, not to mention the fast moving and unpredictable subject matter.
The visual appeal of a well-tended aquascape can lend itself to some truly compelling images that illustrate the dynamic nature, fantastic colours and individual personalities of the different fish and other aquatic animals.
In the
Aquarium Photography course, we'll take a look at numerous aspects of successfully photographing aquariums. We'll look at; things you can do to prepare an aquarium for photography, techniques for photographing entire aquariums, composing your images, and specific methods of photographing fish and other subjects, as well as digital imaging (post-processing). We’ll also delve into some of the more technical aspects of the aquarium photography process, including: lighting a tank, color balance, exposure and focusing issues.
Early in the course we will learn about cameras and other photographic equipment that is applicable to aquarium photography. For the most part, the equipment you'll need for aquarium photography is straightforward. Most well-equipped amateur photographers would likely already own much of the gear that they would need for basic aquarium photography.
