Ok. Can all you super photographers give me some advice please. Basically, I'm going to be doing some serious pond-dippng this summer and I want to photograph what I find. Now,I've done this before into white trays, but apart from the fact the creatures are on the move, when I do get one still, the white glare of the tray makes the creature dark and dull. Not only that, if the sun is high,I cast a shadow on what I am trying to take a shot of.It's very frustrating.Is there a better colour background I can use, or a different method altogether? It's nigh on impossible to get a shot in a pond...I've tried lots of times. Think I need one of those underwater cameras and a diving suit, although I've nearly done all that without a waterproof camera and fully clothed!
Help!
