I would like to find out how does everyone deal with taking photos of a bowfront tank? I can take phots but it seems to be some distorsion caused by the bowfront glass! Also the depth of the tank causes my pictures of my corlas in the back of the tank seem distant. Please help and I will share the pics with Reef Central.
 
Distortion is par for the course with bowfronts, unfortunately. To minimize the distortion try shoot squarely into the tank because shooting at an angle usually causes more distortion, though I've had a little luck on a friends bowfront when I shot at an angle, but that was more of a close-up.
Try a tripod too. I'd experiment with a wider focal length to make the far away corals look more prominent-- move the camera closer and zoom out as much as you can. Experimenting will tell you what works best though... photography is all about learning by trial and error.
