Make a plan before recording of what you will be recording move camera slow and steady I had to get my fish use to the camera at first they would take off and seek cover if I got too close with it but after a while I guess they got the idea it wasn't going to harm them lol and they let me record them.

Clean glass, clear water, a tripod. Move the camera back and use the zoom a bit. This will stop distortion and allow the target and the background to be in focus.

That's what I picked up from trial and error mostly. Could aways use more help too! lol

Perfect! The exact opposite of my beginning videos .

and watch out for your own reflection in the glass. no one wants to see us shooting films in our bath robes! hehe

Oh, and frame your shots using the rule of thirds
