Hi everyone,
I have been playing with my old point and shoot camera for a while now, and plan on purchasing a bridge camera this weekend. I want to take some pictures of wild aquatic salamanders like necturus and various larvae in a naturalistic setting, and wondered how you guys accomplished this?
I read on another forum that some people actually carry a small tank into the field with them that has a silicone/gravel/sand bottom. They fill it up with bottled water and place the specimen into that for photographing. I saw a couple problems with that, mainly the chance of spreading disease from one body of water to another, or from one animal to another. Is that an irrational fear?
