I’ve had an aquarium for a bit over 2 years now and have always enjoyed taking pictures of the fish. Aquarium photography is challenging, because the pictures look a lot better with the light from the aquarium lighting, but that may not be sufficient depending on the shutter time. Fish also moves around quite a bit so the shutter time can’t be 5 seconds.

Below is a small selection of some pictures I’ve taken. I also compete in some Norwegian aquarium photography competitions. My camera is a Canon EOS 400D (Rebel something in the US), and these are taken with a Tamron 90mm Macro lens. Click the images for big versions.
