Hi,

I just set up a small water tank and have been experimenting with "floating" various objects underwater and shooting through the tank.

One problem I have encountered is that tiny air bubbles are sticking to the glass and showing up in the shot. Rather than clone them all out in PS, is there anything I can do to make the glass clear of the bubbles.

I've tried scraping them off, but they come back...

Thanks,
Steve

Try lightly tapping the glass numerous times.

I did this a while ago, and what I've heard works best is to boil water and then use that to fill the tank. I didn't have access to boiling water when I did this (only tap water) and what I ended up doing was just taking a paper towel and wiping off of the inside before I went to shoot. I also left the water sitting in there for a while, and after 4 or 5 days the bubbles stopped coming back.

The bubbles are more then likely chlorine being released.
