The picture right next to you name. Mine is my two huskies.

Thank you mine is my red hawk and clown goby. They're best mates. I have Pomskies, part pomeranian and husky.

Adorable and it wasn't a stupid question.

All it said was fish had to be in your tank or the ocean. Nothing about sw or fw. Tank is a tank.
Gorgeous shot

Thanks. So no pictures of fish in trees right?

Thank you!!! Yours as well. I guess the old adage is correct " The only stupid question is the one you don't ask."

Dumb question, what is an avatar?

The small picture next to your username.

I have to choose this one of my goby. He’s not seen much in local fish stores. He’s one tough fish to get a pic of too.

Fish: Dracula shrimp goby
Camera: iPhone w/clip on macro lens nothing fancy.

Might as well submit one, might pick up some tips on Photographing.

Technical info
Huawei P30 Pro Mobile Phone
ISO 250
WB set to 6k

So this is my Matted Filefish, Pele. He is constantly following me around within the tank begging for food. I love this fish's character and the way that he swims.

Can we do FW fish?

Oh I forgot to add in the details. It is a SONY camera with a portrait lens. No cropping. LED lights.

Taken with my Google Pixel 3 XL
"Mando" the Mandarin Dragonet is one of my favorite fish. I have the help of sunlight shining into my office tank for only a few minutes each day this time of year, and Mando cooperated for some nice photos.

This is Hawkeye and Radar. Weird chums. Always perching together. Also my avatar pic. Taken with Samsung Galaxy10 phone.

My Regal Angel, “Leo”.

This was a very hard choice, but I chose to go with my goby and shrimp pair.

The reason being, they are just so much fun. It’s like a little bulldozer and a foreman giving him directions. I’m not even mad they stole my mermaids fan, or my red flame algae’s. It’s even entertaining watching them snatch a hermit crab to use as a door lol. my goby needs a tiny hard hat.

Camera used is my iPhone XR. No special settings, point and shoot.

This is my Clown Trigger showing off. This trigger is always clowning around and even has a smiley face on the on white spot pattern towards its tail. Shot with a Rebel T5i 50mm (85mm equivalent) F2.8 1/100/sec ISO800.

Some Batman and Robin vibes going in here.

Special because only a handful have ever been in captivity in the US, and I no longer have this fish (age - photo is from 3 years ago)​

What made you choose the composition you picked?

Shooting fish with a diffused flash is a great way to get a high f-stop, high(ish) shutter speed without the subject getting overly dark. But there's no good trick to getting a good focus on the fish; that just takes practice! But always strive to focus on the eye.​
