I know, right?! I bought them about a year ago from a local LFS and they were completely white, totally bleached. I'm kinda proud of how they're looking today :)

Hi Chris

You sure get great pictures out of that camera(Canon s2is).
It was an excellent value for the money those pictures are as good as any DSLR.

What settings did you use for those pictures. I bought the Canon G9 and I am still experimenting with the settings to get consistently great pictures.

Hey Tom I am using the auto setting with the macro setting. I have played around with the white balance quite a while ago. Not to sure what it really is set at. Thanks though.

Usually you can find a window to shoot through were the light doesn't bounce back at the camera. It may be a little tricky and take a little practice but it's definitely doable. Also a polarizing filter can be helpful.

When you shoot with your photo box/tube do you also shut your pumps/powerheads off?

This is what I've got so far, its really hard to find that perfect window to shoot through.
