I was so glad to see how some of these photos came out so clear actually because the lighting isn't the greatest. I didn't have a ton of time to focus on anything because the zoo was a little busy, and this was a very small fish in a very large tank. This photo is of a Butterflyfish and is also shared in DeviantArt.com under my other username: MYEYESINTHEMIRROR in original form which shows a little more on depth of the tank. Zoos are a family favorite for us, every year we try to hit at least one but the Pittsburgh Zoo is one of our favorites.Equipment
Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS REBEL T3 Shutter Speed: 1/64 second Aperture: F/4.5 Focal Length: 32 mm ISO Speed: 800 Lens: EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Sensor Size: 22mmInspiration
It's brilliant color stood out so much in such a large tank. This little fish could fit in my hand but in the 1000 gallon tank it shood out among the coral and other fish.Editing
Yes but not a lot, I sharpened the image and cropped out the extra dead space to focus on it's brilliant colors.In my camera bag
Canon EOS REBEL T3 and 18 mm lense with cleaners in case something should get on my lense. Going from mixed temperatures can cause condensation on the outside which can get troublesome.Feedback
Be quick to set your feet and focus when you see the opportunity because shooting live creatures is often problematic since they don't normally hold still. It also helps to take more then one image because one angle may be better then others when their speeding away from your camera.
