sweet ride: Thanks for checking out my (non)skills! I usually shoot at 100 or 200 ISO. The above photos are all 200. No tripod. Canon G7.

I wouldn't say that, all you need is a little practice. This one am sure you might have already heard, if you are shooting through the glass your lens need to be parallel to the glass. And the on other thing is when your shooting is all the flow in your tank turned off completely, just because if your shooting at 100 or 200 any motion on the subject will show unless your shooting at a high shutter speed.

Ya, I try to shoot straight through the glass most of the time, and I do turn the flow off. Shutter speed is anywhere from 1/4 to 1/60 depending on how much light. Obviously I try to have high light so I can turn up the shutter speed. Do you suggest a different ISO?

unless you have a very steady hands here is that is one of the reason why your photos are a little blur, and it's not your focusing. when you shoot freehand I would recommend at the very least shutter speed of 120, or even 200. to compensate with this try sooting at 400 ISO.

I took some pics of my other tank yesterday too (post #63).

Thanks, I will try your suggestions. I keep meaning to buy a tripod, but it's one of those things I never seem to remember to do.

Any new pictures

Hehe...no not right now. A couple of my new little buddies weren't impressed with the Coral Rx dip. They will be fine, just need a couple weeks to color up again. I will post pics when I'm back for Christmas.
