I just got a Nikon D3200 for my birthday, and naturally a preferred subject is my axolotls, but they are hard to photograph.

Obviously (calendar competition) there are some skilled photographers of little critters/underwater critters on these boards - I'm wondering if you have any tips for a relative newbie?

Thanks :)
 
I'm only a camera newbie as well, but I find turning the room lights and flash off and leaving the tank lights on is a good way of photographing aquatic animals. Also making a mask for the camera with just a hole for the lens from non shiny black paper helps minimize reflections in the glass.

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
