Those are some awesome shots. I had the pleasure to see the master in action and learnt quite a bit in that one hour from him. |

The technique used is (in my opinion) to keep the tank's lights OFF and use an alternate light source to hit just the subject and little else.
Jibran has a pic using this technique which has so many fish in the field of light (against pitch dark background), that it is very difficult to believe it's a single picture and not a collage

Thank you all for those lovely comments and encouragement
That said the fish are in top condition and that helps too, speaks volumes of Prem's TLC
Anish, Sid,
The black background was a combination of
1. Black tank background
2. Spot light kind of an effect with flash right above the fish
This lighting diagram made earlier better demonstrates it
No sessions on photography yet, all impromptu when discussing with fellow aquarists
Hemesh,
Shall give it a try.
Marc,
Anytime mate. Lemme know when.
Prem,
Thanks to you my friend, I was able to capture these beauties. Glad to share whatever I know.
Cheers, |
