Im just looking for a few ideas on ways to model my bettas.. Ive been thinking about photographing them for quite a while seeing as I dont have any photos here yet, but I dont know quite how to position them or what containers to put them in to make it look better.. Im not looking for handouts, just ideas.. Inspiration..

A spherical fish bowl could give some interesting results.

There's a bunch on Google but you have to spell it "beta"

Yea.. I was thinking about martini glasses, different shaped fishbowls, vases, even a clear glass cookie jar.... But i dunno.. it never looks right when i get the photo setup and edited..

Ooo I just got a few good ideas..

I have a red fish, a blue fish, and a multicolored fish..

and a rose-tinted wine glass

If I put red glass beads in the bottom of the wine glass and put the red fish inside.. red backround.. everything red..

that would look cool

thanks guys.. i think i got my brain back =)

Let's see the pics when you're done. Red is hard to render in digital (my opinion). Try different backgrounds and filter the lighting through something like muslin or gauze to reduce the hotspots on the glass. Have fun!

Taking the photo wont be hard.. Getting it to display properly up here will!

And I lost the stupid cable for my camera.. So I'll have to go hunting for that.. But I'll definately be putting them up somewhere!

Thx! =)
