@EvilKittie: I do not know much about camera techniques I am affraid. This aquarium was reasonably well lit and after spending around 15 minutes there I figured out what the shark's moving patterns was and was able to place my camera and my timing perfectly. I got around 3 good ones out of a 100 taken.

Ok, fair enough. So to be honest, you just watched the behaviour of the animal and tried to match it, and be patience with alot of shots!

Cheers Toddy,

That's about the size of it! In my opinion good animal photography is a mixture of

30% knowing/predicting the animals patterns
30% patience
20% knowing about cameras
20% luck

Or something like that

Looks like someone used Google Translate

are you suggesting I'm not fluent in Danish?

I put in "purge" and got back "udrensning" and doing it the reverse way got me "cleansing" so I figured it was the right word.

So only missing one of those - 30% patience!
