Rubber hood method only for flash? No. Absolutely not. You can of course use
this method quite effectively with flash, but I mostly use it without flash,
to prevent reflections in the glass barrier I'm shooting thru...
What would you do, press a lens or a hard hood against the glass of the
exhibit, and risk scratching and sliding?
Or are you planning to stand back away a bit from the exhibit glass? This
works too, but it depends on the way the room is lit. If it's dark all
around you and the exhibit is lit brightly, fine! You'll be okay. But if the
room around and behind you is well lighted, you might well get mucho
reflections in the exhibit glass...
What could possibly be your objections to the rubber hood method? (If the
aquarium will allow you to get that close...)
