Location
This photo was taken in my 200 gallon aquarium, my hobby for many years, I love the challenge and I have to say it takes many shots to get just the one that makes me happy.Time
The best time to take aquarium shots are at night when you don't have outside lights to reflect off the glass and interfere with the shot. ILighting
Normally I use the metal halide lighting to get what I need but the camera flash works great for these closeups and the colors are spot on and bright.Equipment
An good short example from jharris582: ”This was shot on a Canon 7D, with an 18-55mm f/3.5 lens. No other equipment was involved.”Inspiration
A great example from picturesque: “I was looking for a place to shoot the Milky Way on a new Moon. I typically look at areas on youcanseethemilkyway.com for minimal light pollutions spots and use google maps to finds a good parking area and directions. I had my fellow photographer friend Dani and another friend June along for the trip. I originally wanted to use some abandoned building for the shot but when we arrived realized they had collapsed and wouldn’t work so I used the Joshua tree in the framing instead.”Editing
Sample answer from paolobubu: “Usually landscape photography requires a lot of processing. In this particular case, I had to develop the raw 2 times (one for the land and another for the sky) to correct the white balance (since the auto option in the camera usually kills the color of the sunset). Then I proceeded to merge the 2 raws using luminosity masks.”In my camera bag
A great example from corindimopoulos: “The first thing I always pack is my Canon 85mm 1.2 prime. A monkey could take an amazing picture with that lens, and given I am not that much more evolved, it has become my favourite piece of kit. I then pack a Canon 1Dx body, simply because it’s bomb-proof, and a second-hand 300mm 2.8 prime which is bigger than a bazooka but I enjoy using it. The third, but no less important lens is my Zeiss 21mm 2.8 prime. Jonathan Critchley recommended it and immediately my images improved. I love the weight of it. I like my equipment to weigh a lot. It gives me faith in the quality and robustness…”Feedback
Here’s a response from macnuel we particularly liked: “The southern tip of Chile has unique characteristics. The weather changes abruptly depending on the day, you can have sun, snow, wind or calm, all in one trip. One of the major features of a landscape photographer is to have patience and wait for the right time, which is essential in a place like this. Be prepared for the diversity of landscapes, colors and situations. Dawn and dusk are key moments, however daylight conditions, lenticular clouds and wind creates atmospheres as it happens. Diversify, have patience and plan ahead.”
