Coral canvases: Do you try to emphasize angles and textures in your photos?
Taking pictures of corals and fish in our reefs can be hard. Dealing with the blue lights, the water, the water spots on the glass, getting the fish to stop moving, working around cables and other equipment, and so much more can be a challenge. The good news is that there are many tips and techniques to deal with these obstacles and many of these are discussed in photography section of R2R. A couple of approaches to consider are to emphasize angles and focus on the textures in your tank. Let us know what you think about when taking pictures of your tank – do you emphasize angles and textures in your photos?
Pro Tip: Changing the camera angle to shoot across the coral and paying attention to the shadows in the tank can emphasize the texture of the corals in the photo.
