nice one,
Great pic.
You can always download a free photo editor to do final tweaks to the gamma and brightness.

... Thoroughly read the manual first.DSLR's take a lot of getting used to apparently.
Ive had the camera for a year or so but have only used it for taking pictures of bands (which is alot easier haha).
Im guessing the hardest thing is getting the fish to stay still? haha
Cheers
All ive got is a fish eye lens (ironically), how much does a decent macro lens cost?Also, for fast moving fish, use a remote flash positioned above the tank. This way you'll get crisp clear pictures of any fast movers. For close up shots use a good quality macro lens. The kit lens is decent for photography in the air ie: portraits, outdoor shots etc.
Yeah i've got the tripod out hahaIf your shutter speed is so slow you need to use a tripod, the fish will just be a blur.
For fast moving ones you can use the sports mode on the Olympus 520-e i have as you can take lots of pictures in a row you'llget one out ten right i find but works for me just need to use a few cards.
It's ok to use a flash. I use 1/4 flash or a full flash. Check to see if you have flash settings. I use my auto setting because it's normaly right on point. I know how to adjust the f stop and shutter speed but I find the auto works great.
Here is a photo I took on auto setting with a 1/4 flash.
here is another
once again auto setting but a differant flash setting.
just get to know your camera and just play around with it. If you have a spot light or extra light you could add to shine on the tank that would help. When you use a flash you need to take the photo on an angle. If you do it straight at the tank your going to get a glare.
