Photographing in an Aquarium

Gus the Yellow-bellied Slider

Caleb seemed pleased for me to photograph his pet turtle.  I made this capture with the Samsung Galaxy S4, no flash.

Gus the Yellow-bellied Slider

I decided to try my "big boy" camera on Gus.  I soon discovered that I needed flash.  I set up one at the end of the 70 gal. aquarium and made this shot.  Obviously, I needed another flash from above the surface.  The surface seems to act like a mirror and the light does not pass through.  Next time I want to try it with two flashes.  This time, we had to leave for a game.
