This morning I decidede to attempt some photos of my pet lizards (Green Anoles,
Wall Lizards and Leopard Gekos for any herp fans). I used my OM20 and 50mm 1.8
wit a Hoya +4 Close-up filter (I haven't yet aquired a macro lens or extension
tubes).
In terms of lighting I left on the Vivarium lights (so I could see what I was
doing!) and positioned one flash with a slave unit attached facing down through
the glass lid of the tank, with several layers of white tissue. and used a
bounce head gun on the camera facing upwards. Because of refelctions in the
glass I turned the room lights off and drew the curtains and got as close as
possible to the tank...then a bit of food and ...action!!
They posed perfectly (I think the first flash stunned them a bit) abd I hope to
have got several decent shots (for safety I bracketed a couple of stops around
f8).
I'll let you know hoe the results turn out, but my question is to anyone who has
experince of phoographing fish/lizards in tanks for some tips that may improve
my technique?
Many thanks
Alex Hughes
