The fire was burning in the back and the red blood parrots were swimming
in front of it. A short dance in flying orange colors. The camera was
there (as it always is) and I had a chance to take some spectacular
photos. Flash could not be used as it would wash out the orange of the
fish and give detail to the walls surrounding the fireplace. Having just
an 100 ASA film there was only one solution. Forget what was already in
it, rate it at 800 ASA and shoot the remaining shots with a telephoto lens
to bring the fish and the fire "closer" as they were actually 5 meters
away. Photography - like fish keeping - is an art and a science...
