my impossible fish to photograph

[reefkprz]

Harlequin bass
this guy is so hard to take photos of but here is tonights attempts.
I really want a great static picture of this gorgeous fish, and he is so shy I have to bait him out just to catch a glimpse with my camera in hand, I can view him from 2 inches with the Nay kid eye, but once I pick up the camera he hides.

the pictures dont do him any justice.

Use the flash...just ever so slightly angle the camera, so the glass doesn't pick up the flash.

Very nice fish!!

 

[reefkprz]

he is probably one of my top ten favorite fish.

He really looks cool! Did you ask him to say aaaahhhh! in the first pic!

Was thinkin of gettin one of these guys...how are they with shrimp. Ive got banded and cleaners...

 

[reefkprz]

he lets my cleaner shrimp clean him, I think he would eat him if he was bite size, fortunately my cleaner is large, I would advise caution if your shrimp are very small.

I'll try that next time, its darn hard to get the camera to focus quick enough to take a picture of him, and the action setting looks to grainy.
