In this video, we take a step by step tutorial on how to photograph of an aquarium. Our subject this week is Ghazanfar’s ADA 90P Aquascape. It’s a beautiful nature aquarium that deserves to be shown off in a perfect photo. We took this photo for the IAPLC competition. We go through tips and tricks like how to use a hairdryer in aquascaping and using black poster board to line your fish tank. We also go through the best setting for your camera, from ISO, to Aperture, to shutter speed.

Well thanks i also have a similar camera which is nikon D5600 and your video helps me a-lot
What a stunning video loved watching this a lot
Nice videography , great narration . I love your deep low but clear voice . Perfect 10 👌
This video deserves way more views. Great job.
Cool vid! What would be your suggestion about filming a fish tank?
did u use a polarizer on camera lens?
Super duper helpful… thank you!
Hey Alex, what flash would you recommend for an A7III?
Can you please tell me whats the black colour board you used to take picture and can you do a tutorial about it?
Nice videos.. Thanks very inspiring to make also a photos of my aquariums

Nice to see the little tips and tricks. Also Beautiful Tank.
Excellent teaching skills. I look forward to a more in depth video series on this subject.
I don't like to shoot pictures that are too bright, the colors look washed out. With that in mind, f1.8, ISO350, 1/60s usually gets me pretty good results even without supplemental lighting, I just wish I had something even half as aesthetic to shoot as that aquascape there. About blurriness: I think if the fish look slightly blurry, that only adds to the feeling of motion.
Merry Christmas!
Love the video, tank, and explanation. Thanks for your time.
You present very valuable and professional content. Thank you for that. I love your movies. 👍😉
Great tutorial!
A video of how to take detailed pictures of small fish / fry would be also cool 🙂
Mind blown.
Wow. Just Wow. This was just perfect! Beautiful, educational, shows the What-if results. Thank you so much!
A tank review and a photography guide in one video? Awesome!
Do you Shoot in RAW format? Although I suspect you do as I saw the RAW setting on the camera display.
Hello from Romania 🇷🇴. Alex, can you tell me what filter used to this aquarium? PS: nice video. Congrats.
WHO DIT THAT DISLIKE 🙁
The info was so helpful! I feel like you leaked a bunch of secrets!!
Wow. Another excellent video. You are off the charts impressive. I kinda wish I had more than just a phone to take pictures with.
Such a beautiful tank. Also makes me realise how much work goes into actually creating these images when i get a case of serious tank envy on Insta haha.
