Tips for Better Aquarium Photos

Since the weather hasnt warmed up yet everyone is looking for fun inside things to do.  One of my favorites is to visit the aquarium.  But getting photos through the glass isnt always easy.  Here are a few tips for getting the photos you want.

1.  Do not use flash – you will get bad reflections off of glass
2.  Tripods are not usually allowed so steady yourself by leaning on a wall or column
3.  Shoot at an angle when shooting against glass to reduce glare
    
4.  Take close up photos of animals
5.  Be patient, these animals are constantly moving

Here are a few examples of some photos that I took.

    This is a very well written article. I especially like the bullet points to make things prominent. I read great tips to take pictures underwater and in an aquarium at http://shootdigitalpicslikethepros.com/blog/go1/photography-blog as I love marine flora and flora. But my love for photography is unparalleled and what i have learned from this blog is no less of a treasure!
