Pictures of fish

How do you get clear pics of your fish?

I have a nice (new) digital camera. Still need to experiment, but is there a certain setting for getting good pics? It seems to get a little blurry when I get real close

Tell the fish to stand still and tell it to say cheese when you are ready to snap its photo.

Your camera may be trying to focus on "stuff" floating around in the water. Try turning off the pumps first, and letting things settle for a few minutes.

Also check the Photography Forum: they're full of hints on how to do this. Having a steady base helps. Limiting reflective light helps...Accurately predicting where your fish will be when the shutter-lag actually lets the shutter click? Priceless. ;)
