My amateur-ish fish photography ;)

Hello all,

Just saw that there are a lot of photography enthusiasts here (How great is that!). So thought of sharing a few photos with y'all.

Like them all. Good job! Way better than anything I have ever captured on film.

OMG. Really nice! Can you please explain your technique and equipment. I am having a hard time getting good pictures even though I have a good camera (Oly E5 + 50mm F/2 Macro)

I use 7D with 100mm macro. I love to experiment with lighting in my setup. Sometimes it is overhead, sometimes it is sideways and sometimes both. I think softening the light is the key to make good photos. You should get an external wireless flash unit. That is the first step towards learning to take good photos.
Your camera is excellent. You shouldn't have any problems taking good photos

agreed. Off camera flash is that "Eureka" moment in aquarium photography
