Coy Models

You will notice that the koi never seem to want to pose, except for the mouth open one of Metallica (my metallic showa posted earlier). Why not use the movement to your advantage? This photo of a long finned, ginrin, showa was taken with the following settings (1/60 sec, F11, 400ISO). The long fins are just asking for a timed exposure!!!
Take away note: Digital film is essentially free. Take as many photos as you possibly can and then cull them. Even being ruthless, you will still have some gems!!!
