It goes something like this: *click*...#%&@#, *click*...#%&@#, *click*...#%&@#, *click*...#%&@#, *click*...#%&@#, *click*...#%&@#, ............. *click*...this one will have to do.
Anyone have tips on photographing constantly moving, fast fish? I see articles that are the basics of photography plus a few tips for using flash, photographing through glass/water/acrylic, etc., but not much about the special tribulations of catching the ones moving at the speed of light. They don't even show up as a blur.
Help.

In short Zambize. to catch fast fish you need a fast shutter.... and a fast shutter speed requires lots of light pointing at the subject. Read the thread, it will help a bit :)

Yes, I have seen the work of Sponge-meister...and have commented on his work. Awesome stuff, but I was speaking about photos for mere mortals. LOL Seriously though, I was hoping for something between my throwing the camera at the tank and needing to understand the *manual* settings of my camera. Besides, my camera is old and I know (deep down) that decent photos will likely require a camera upgrade and there goes more $$$ on my fish!! I'm gonna get kicked out of the house. I can see it now, me and my fish, in the driveway, looking for an outdoor power outlet.

I took some advice and fiddled with the settings on my camera and got some pics of one of my more timid fish. They are awaiting approval still, but I love them! =)
