Thanks Mike, great tips as always
Great tip on positioning the flash.
honestly i like your videos. even if i'm not the wildlife photographer who attracts animals. but i think your tips are really good. now I hope that not everyone starts running and throwing fish and pigging into the tap water basin to get better photos. somehow I don't think that's so great anymore. This can make the animals sick quickly. maybe i don't understand that correctly because of my language.
No need to cut up the card, black bin bag or black cloth with a hole cut in it and an elastic band will do the trick.
Thanks, Mike.
I will ask Plymouth Aquarium to double up on their tanks during lockdown! 😀😀😀
Awesome content!
Great video Mike
Some great tips and great to see some species I remember from my childhood growing up in the UK. I liked your comment regarding the tape to cover the white background," You can use any colour you like as long as it's black". Wasn't that Henry Ford's sales pitch when he described a Model T Ford?
Awesome video mate. I'm super glad you made this video, i was going to buy an underwater housing to photograph the native fish in a stream, but they are Soo expensive. Thankyou. I'm going to give this a go! Your other videos are really informative too.
