Use a digital camera. You can check how your picture turned out right away.- Turn the flash off! In a lot of exhibits, the tanks are already lit in the way that best shows off all the animals and coral inside. If you do use the flash, pay attention to any flash restrictions that might be posted.
- Use a faster shutter speed - some of our animals can swim pretty fast, you don't want them to look like a blur as they speed by!
- Try to take the shot straight on. Weird angles through the tank glass can distort the image or show reflections.
- The SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium is quieter during the evening, so if you come then, you'll have more time to perfect your shot.
