    Contests are coming. But how do you make the best final shot as possible?

    Some info about settings, equipment and setup.

    Here is an example of using external flash. I didn't share my full tank shot because I am entering contests with it. But here is a detail shot.

    Dark room (only tank light on)

    Black equipment, clothes

    Black cardboard on top of the tank.

    Can use mobile phones.
    Make sure your shots are perfectly horizontal.
    I will then crop the photo to delete the surface waterline, the bottom and edges of the tank.
    Do it with the room lights off and aquarium light full brightness.
    It's actually very satisfying.

    What I do to get the best outta my photo is turn OFF the room's light, leaving ON only the Tank's light. That alone should bring out the best look.
