Yep agree with Microbot. Lots of shots. Flash on, flash off. More light,
less light. I have managed to get some nice pictures, but the hit rate is
about 1 in 10.

I use a simple Kodak DC 4800 digital camera. My tank (6*2*2) lighting is 3
* 150 watt 10,000 K MHs, 2 * 48" actinic flouros, and 1 * 48" 6500K flouro.

Very good Lighting helps most.
I turn on a few extra BRIGHT Fluorescent (Powerglow) lights when taking
pictures.
Also some high capacity Rechargeable Batteries and a very large Memory
Card...

Hi,

Just got my first digital camera. A Canon Powershot A70. I have no
experience in photography, but am enjoying learning about my new toy.

One of the first things I've found is shooting pics of moving fish in
idiosyncratic tank lighting is a bit tricky. :-)

So all of you with those great pics posted online, any tips or
suggestions
for a newbie? As far as Fstop, shutterspeed, use of flash, ISO
settings,
anything else.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go replace my batteries yet again :-)

TIA
Phil
