have a juwel 240 litre aquarium, with amongst other fish, a lovely little gold line panaque, who in the last 2 days (after 13 months) has taken to "dancing on the glass.........."

so there he was, dancing away.......

I have set up camera, tripod, remote control shutter.......... and then the little b****r goes all camera shy on me.............

Who was it who said never work with kids or animals?

Typical!

 

[Pieface]

Unlucky, have you kept your set-up there just in case now?

Happens to me with birds all the time. They have even stopped coming to the garden feeders since poked a lens a couple of inches through a partly open window.

I don't know who said it but they were right!

I did my daughters birthday party yesterday, 40 odd 1 to 4 year olds, I was traumatised by the end!!

Just put the camera away again....it'll be dancing on the glass again in no time at all.

It's not all bad.

By half way through the post, I was imagining a smashed tank and fishy dancing on the carpet!

 

[Lynton]

yay.......... camera shy to tart fish!!!!

Sorry about poor quality........ slow shutter speed without flash and not a fast lens..........

something to do with eye contact
or your fisheye lens...
