I still don't get how you take such brilliant photos...come on...give us tips!

1. Turn off room lights/shut curtains, photograph in the dark.
2. Ensure all tank lights are on.
3. Learn camera's exposure and white balance settings. Experiment.
4. Keep camera still when pressing button. Use self-timer if necessary.
5. Use tripod (or similar i.e. ironing board!!)
6. Buy a quality camera (mine is cheap and only 2 MP but still good quality - Olympus).

1. yep do that. maybe it's just not dark enough in surrey...do you live in the sticks where you can see the stars?

2. only have 1 light

3. I've experimented lots changing all sorts of buttons.

4 and 5, dont really have a problem with blurryness

6. got one.

It must be the darkness and my tank light that's the problem. I'll give it another go tonight.

Thanks

//edit have been playing with my new camera phone and apart from blurryness (will need the ironing board) I think it takes better pics than my 'proper' camera! (i've posted in the members photos forum)
