Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was shot at the Aqua Zoo Leerdam in the Netherlands, the aqauriums are based in a cellarTime
No matter what time of the day i would take this photo, the lighting would be the same due to the location of the fish tanks in the cellarLighting
The only light used was the light of the fishtankEquipment
I shot this photo with my cellphone (Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+) so no fancy equipment this timeInspiration
I saw these lion fish in this huge tank (15feet long) and a large part of the tank was covered in rocks, except for the middle part, which had a black background, i waited for one of the fish to swim exactly along the black background, underexposed the shot a little and that resulted in this photoEditing
I edited out a really small part of a rock on the left. Made the black more black and ramped up the midtones a bit to nake it more popIn my camera bag
Nikon D90 3 lenses (50mm 1.8 18-105 kitlens and my diy macro setup)Feedback
Patience :) understanding what a smartphone can do if you can shoot in pro mode. Put the phone against against the glass to eliminate reflections.
