A good friend has recently set up a a few fish tanks, saltwater and freshwater. I was having fun trying to capture this eel...

thanks for looking and sharing.

On a side note I'm not sure what the percentages mean on flickr for flash output?!? Would that mean I had my flashes output set to 1/2 and 1/5 respectively? That is what I'm guessing. i can't remember off hand.

Jake, I do not like eels! But your photographs I like. Me, I would up the contrast a little and selctive saturation a tiny notch on the lighter side.

I know that photographing thru a fish tank with a flash is not easy. I would never be able to it.

So more kudos to you.

Thanks for sharing.
 
Thanks I'll try that. I just put my lens right upto the glass(with hood attached). put both my flashes right to the glass camera right and left(with 14mm shade pulled down) and shot away.
