Stunning Lion Fish! I used to have one of these way back. If it even touches you, it feels like a hammer banging on your hand.

Behind The Lens

Location

Melbourne Sea Life Aquarium

Time

Around 11 am:o)Doesn't matter, I was in the aquarium :o)

Lighting

Took quite many pics and waiting and waiting cos this fish is in a water tank behind thick glass window. Couldn't do much for lighting, used people's shadows standing around me to make front of glass darker. Try to catch attention of the fish.

Equipment

Camera Nikon D7000,lens 18-105 Nikkor,no tripod, no flash....MakeNikon CameraNIKON D7000 Focal Length42.0 mm Shutter Speed1/125 sec ApertureF4.8 ISO/Film3200 Original Size3144 X 1957 Date TakenOct 18, 2013

Inspiration

Thick glass, movements of the fish and tried to get eye contact with the fish:o)

Editing

I'm not using photoshop, only if needed change size of photo. This I used free Picasa 3 prog.,changed w/b and sharpened a little bit, made smaller size. I'm not pro photographer but photographing is my passion and hobby...guess on this pic with lot of luck too:o)

In my camera bag

Camera, 2 lens (50mm f/1.4G and 18-300 mm), book for "stand still as tripod" and lot of creativity to use anything around you:o)

Feedback

Try and try and try again until you get it. Learn your camera as technically. I use 98% manual options and try to keep photo as natural look as possible...and sometimes need lucky too. My style is "oldfashion" non-photoshopping style even I use digitalcamera:o) Thank you and happy shooting to all my photography friens:o)
