    Thanks all. I'll dig out the technique once I get back next week. Leaving for drill now for the weekend. I also want to do a tutorial via youtube video on general fish/aquarium photography so thats coming too.

    Matt, have you ever thought about getting hired by NatGeo as a magazine photographer? I think you are skilled for it!

    Amazing work... How long of exposure did you leave the shutter on to get those amazing shots?

    Thanks all. Shutter was open for about 20-30 seconds sometimes a bit longer.

    I have thought about it Barb. Would be an amazing job/experience. My dad had the chance to work for them a long time ago but decided to go another route, he wishes he had at least tried it now. Not to long ago a member here had one of his photos published in Natl Geo.

    The attacking photo you pictured on the first page. You'll have to forgive me I don't know standard print sizes but if you pop me a pm about what sizes you can do and prices I would be incredibly interested Matt. That's a beautiful photo. I was thinking a little smaller than standard poster size, whatever that is lol.

    Btw this is all part of my grand scheme to get you up to this part of the country to photograph my fish and fish room.... I'd pay a lot more for that than I would for a print! One day my friend, one day...

    PM Sent, and that would be fun and I would love to do a whole tour of the US stopping at member's fishrooms I just can't see it being feasible anytime soon. However my girlfriend's hometown is about 4 hours from you across the border....so maybe one day when we go back to visit we can stop by or something.
