So I'm possibly going to The Deep in hull tomorrow and never shot in an aquarium before.

Anyone got any tips on how to get good shots through the glass and water please?

All help much appreciated
 
Having been there I found try and get as close to and as square on to the glass as possible. If you have a lens hood try it fitted and press the hood against the glass to stop any light getting between the tank and the lens, you can also use your hand, cap or something similar to shield the end. Also I don't know what lenses you have, but I found even at 1/100 and f/2.8 about 60% of my images were in excess if ISO6400. Enjoy it and have fun

A few examples of the best shots

1/100 f2.8 ISO 10000

1/100 f/3.2 ISO8000
 
Just noticed from your posts you've got a 60d and 17-50 f2.8 so you'll be good to go. I used to have a 60d and it handles high ISO really well. I used mine at 6400 on a few occasions :D
 
Yeah that's what I was expecting to be using tbh. Thanks for the input
