When you’re shooting schooling fish, like these bannerfish, try to get them all swimming in one direction, which will result in a much nicer composition and image. It takes a little patience with schooling fish in general until they gather and move in a composed way, so make sure to stay with them patiently.
Equipment: SeaLife Micro 3.0, Sea Dragon 3000F
