The past week, I worked on doing some fish tank shots. I tried some ink, coins, and other random things that looked like they would be cool to drop in there. I positioned the fish tank on my counter, and placed two strobes (1 behind, 1 to the side). I proceeded to take some sweet ink shots.

The real reason I did the ink shots, was simply because they look pretty awesome. I really don’t think they are my most amazing photographs, but they look pretty cool. My brother and I purchased the fish tank from some dude on Craigslist for $10. Pretty good deal for a 10 gallon glass tank.

After my brother did his shots, I figured I might as well do them also, so really the inspiration for this project is his post.
