How To Shoot Stunning Photos At An Aquarium

AQUARIUMS OFFER AN ALMOST unlimited number of photo opportunities, from close-up images of exotic fish to dolphins and sea lions during a show. However, it can be challenging to get sharp, well-exposed images because it is often dark, and the animals often move quickly. Here are some tips to help you capture stunning images at an aquarium.

SELECT THE RIGHT LENS

Regarding lenses, just about any lens can be used, but you’ll probably find that wide angle lenses (about 16-40mm in 35mm terms) are best for taking photos of fish tanks. First, they offer an angle of view similar to that you might experience if you were scuba diving or snorkeling. Wide angle lenses also have smaller minimum focus distances compared with other lenses, which means that you can usually put the lens right up against the glass and take photos of fish that are just on the other side. A wide-angle lens can also really add to the expansive feel of a place.

USE APERTURE OR SHUTTER PRIORITY MODE
