A Few Aquarium Shots

[TheNevadanStig]

I'm not sure why I haven't attempted this more. Aquariums were the thing that got me into photography about 8 years ago. I was up all night last night as my old tank developed a random crack, and I JUST made it to the pet store in time to buy a replacement tank. Figured since everything looked so new and clean I would try taking a few shots. Its easy to forget how difficult aquarium photography can be. But I didn't think I did too terribly for the first attempt in a very long time. Now I just need to convince the wife I need a fast macro lens

Cool!

Very nice, but it would be interesting to know what the fish were. The second and fourth look like some kind of Blenny. (Or is it a Goby?).

These are awesome. I haven't attempted to photograph our tank yet. Have to get on that.

The first is a yellow striped maroon clown, the second is a yellow watchman goby.

Thanks for that.
