Reflections and Refractions

The single biggest challenge to aquarium image creation is dealing with external reflections. The aquarium is lit so you can find your way around, which can cause issues because the light reflects off of everything! The walls, benches, your clothes, your camera gear, you and the other visitors as well will all be visible as reflections in the glass of the large aquarium tanks. In order to even be able to attempt taking worthwhile photos, you need to control the reflections. Blocking them is a start. You could wear all black clothing to block the reflections…but even all-black clothing usually has buttons… and then there’s the issue of your face. Yep… it reflects too. I guess you could go dressed in full Ninja gear… But the looks you’re likely to get… May is not the best idea.
