Take an old lense cloth and buy a cheap rubber lens hood is probably the best advice. But even then it's hard to get a good composition and sharp photos.Went to the New England Aquarium in Boston this morning. It's a great aquarium--very relaxing. I often walk away from trips to aquariums happy with the experience but dissatisfied with the pics. The lighting is usually low with lots of distracting reflections. The glass is usually dirty. Fish swim fast which requires fast shutter speeds made challenging by the often low light. And the fact thatFaster lenses can help, but DOF then becomes an issue when shooting with a large aperture. I haven't yet solved the puzzle of the best way to shoot in an aquarium.
I usually shoot with a normal or wide angle lens, but for today's foray I used a 135mm f/2.8 prime. Still missed with the moving fish (I think need to shoot in shutter priority mode at maybe 1/300th sec and let the ISO creep up as much as it needs to for moving fish--but that may not be a fast enough shutter speed).
Liked this pic of a starfish which was thankfully still.
Tutorials? Pffft...I only take selfies now and there's no tutorials needed for those.Awwww.... that's the nicest thing you have said to me on here...no really... you are normally cruel...

Nice. I miss sunny days!A bumblebee in a happy place. Taken just a few weeks ago before Thanksgiving.
Not likely! Anyway I'm going out later. To the cinema!Why? You don't go outside. Is your heating broken?
Brave man!
If you go outside, better make optimal use of the adventure: Bring your camera!
I think your efforts would be much appreciated @Mark0 even without video.
Very well done AFB. Nice to see you're putting those new filters to good use. Keep'em coming.Another from my day out at Brean the other week.

Going to the SW opening night. I think they disapprove of taking cameras to the cinema!

Another shot from last weeks Super Moon.
Not at all, I used my 1Dx with 70-200/2.8 at 200mm with an exposure of ISO500 1/4 sec @f16. I processed with CaptureOne 11 and cropped into the image a bit.
An Egret.
