Re: Photographing Koi
You didn't say what kind of camera you're using, which matters when trying to capture something like this. A lot of P&S digitals aren't suited to the task of constantly moving objects.
If I was doing it, I'd do it this way:
1. Set up tripod
2. Add polarizing filter and flash to the camera and mount it on tripod
3. Select a good area to use as a background
4. Pre-focus on the area and test it by floating something to it or use your hand right at the waterline to confirm (obviously a timer is required here).
5. Meter using the same technique
6a. Wait
or
6b. Toss some food in to get the fish to your focused area.
