I DID IT!!!

I have successfully taken a few photos of the fish!!! Bear in mind I am still learning with both the camera (in full "M"anual mode) and the fish. I tried a few things and was able to duplicate success on several attempts. I will continue to experiment. [Clicking on the photos should get you a larger image.]






Until I share pics of the latest day-trip....

Did you use flash?

Hi Robin --
Yes and no is the fast answer. Some I did; some I didn't. On some I used flash but made sure the flash was not aimed perpendicular to the glass. A few times I used the flash but sort of shielded the full flash with my hand so the light went out sideways. I also used a monopod to minimize camera shake... which is something at which I am very proficient!! lol

The photos shared in this post all used flash.

Thanks for looking... and asking your question! I love talking about experimenting with cameras as I try to advance beyond novice.

No small matter taking pictures of fish! They don't seem to want to pose in one position for very long! You did good work!
