Axolotl Photography

[darkfaerie]

Hey there, can anyone help me, I'd like hints/tips on axolotl photography. I have 4 beasties in a marine tank, the tank light can be turned on/off/made blue (pretty!). I'm rarely able to get a shot that's close up, or detailed, or half the time there's reflection on the glass..... Basically, I suck at photography, which is no good for my lovely 'lotls, who deserve to have their pictures plastered everywhere!!!

Have a read through the Photography Discussion threads and see if you can pick up some tips!

I think natural light is best, make sure the glass is clean and dry and no flash - dont need expensive setup

It's also cute to make them 'pose'. (If you put your hand above the water they look up and maybe other tricks to make them look/stand in a wanted direction)
