I'll take one like that tomorrow and post it but I'm telling you it'll be sooo under exposed or the shutter speed will have to be super slow. Are things really that still with the flow off?

ISO: 100/200 (depends if you have highlight priority set)
aperture set at: f4-5.6
shutter speed: whatever gives you a metering of slightly under the center weight.

i take all my photos at f4-8 and usually by f8 i have pictures which are sharp from corner to corner so imo theres really no need for f14-22 in our application when it comes to taking tank shots. Shooting at a wider aperture this will give you alot faster shutter speed.

Ok I'm gonna give it another try tonight or tomorrow and I think I can do better but I also think your tank must be better lit then mine?

Yes much better, considerably better when you consider that you're closer than the original, it's still a little softer than I would expect though. Are you auto-focusing or manual? Also are you using a remote or timer to trigger the camera?
