Default Re: Photographing Koi

I personally would not move a Koi in a bowl inside. I would try and "bowl it" somewhere out of direct light which could be done with an overhead shade cloth or canopy. Koi do not like getting taken out of their large swimming area and put in a small bowl and moved around. Outside is fine, just try to null out the shadows. You can use a flash on the bowled fish or in shallow water if it is clear. I can post a couple pictures of this if someone desires.

The avatar I have was a Koi in 4' of water in my old pond. That much water will cloud the colors a little.
