Default Re: Photographing Koi

If you can find or borrow a blue floating Koi bowl and put the Koi in one of these you will have less water and reflections. They also make a rectangular bowl that has length marking on it. Now be mindful the bowls are expensive around $100.00 for a 20-24" bowl, but a Koi owner who really likes there fish will usually have one. As mentioned before Koi are breed to be seen from above. If you are trying to take pictures in the pond shadows and waves are your worst enemies. I have found natural light to work best and if they have a shallow water area which again tends to lesson the amount of light distortion.
