How to photo shoot without reflection?
Wanting to posts some pics and photos in AF. However, always having this reflection problem which is really annoying. Can i have some tips on how to prevent this problem?

Hi, if you are using a DSLR, you may try the following below:
1. Try and go as close to the tank as possible as your lens focusing distance allow, say within 10cm of the glass, you may not get reflection of the flash. 2. Alternatively, you can set up a remote flash pointing down from the top of the tank. 3. Use a bounce flash (i.e., the flash pointing away from the tank, say bouncing off the wall). You need to perform trial and error on this until you eliminate the reflections and areas that are under or overexposed in your photo. Hope this helps! |
Easiest flashless way to shoot...
1. Have strong tank lights 2. Clean tank glass 3. Turn off all house lights so only light source is the tank light. Confirm no reflection. |
or set the camera on timer. stay away from your camera with room lights turned off. this way, u will minimise reflection also
|
theres a polarizing filter you can try on your lenses

Try out my steps. As long there's no ambient lights and only tank lights, sure no reflection. |
Reflections aside, I find that shooting with a prime lens is great too.
Turn on all tank lights, off all other lights, set A to highest (smallest F number) and snap. Trial and error till you get the desired outcome. I'm not sure if Im doing the correct thing but I find that it produces desirable photos if done correctly. |

F11 is overkill.... Do you have Metal Halide Lamps for your tanks to be bright enough for F11? :)
