I've been playing with my iPLione camera and a pocket light, trying to capture the beauty of my betta. I've found that using a combination of the tank's LED lights and the pocket light can produce some amazing results. I've also been experimenting with non-traditional angles and compositions, and I've been surprised at how interesting the photos can be.

I've been using the Live Photo feature on my iPLione, which allows me to take multiple photos at once and then choose the best one. This has been really helpful in capturing the perfect shot, especially since my betta can be a bit of a moving target.

I've also been paying attention to the lighting in my tank, trying to use the natural light from the room to my advantage. I've found that positioning the camera at an angle to the tank can help to reduce glare and reflections, and using a flash can really help to bring out the colors of my betta's scales.

Overall, I'm really enjoying the process of learning and experimenting with my iPLione camera, and I'm excited to see how my photos continue to improve.

I'm not much help here, my photography skills are limited to my iPLione.

I've noticed that in your latest photo, the plants behind the fish are in focus, but unfortunately, the fish itself isn't. Using a camera with manual focussing capabilities would allow you to focus specifically on the fish, which would help. Alternatively, you could try increasing the F number - this should increase the depth of field and get both the fish and the plants in focus.

Honestly, I deliberately didn't focus on the fish. I'd love to see some of your photography work, Nick. A picture truly speaks volumes - let's see what you've got.
