Thank you. It was actually a lot of work with that particular image.
First I had to angle the fish and tripod in the darkness so that the fish was in focus and had an ok background.
Then I tried several, and I mean a lot of different test shots with various apertures and ISO-adjustments.
Then I struggled with the external lighting, my flashlight. After the fish was washed so it looked shiny and fresh
Last but not least I waited until a car drove by. This is not exactly the most trafficked road in the world. So...
Tried for a couple of hours and this was the capture with most luck in it
