Just some misc shots .. practising..
Still just trying to get a handle on optimal manual settings. Hit to miss ratio is getting a little better as I increase the shutter speed but hitting upon an optimal aperture is still eluding me some. I can hear my old violin teacher saying "Practise, practise, practise. Ok you know what, you're just not focusing. I can't teach you if you don't want to learn." Err, oops, guess that memory was a little too high fidelity, never mind!!
  Gorgonian frag. Slowest growing sucker, wish I knew what I could do to get him to go beyond 1".  Math urchin.. Not something you'd really like to step on is he?  Potters angel. The toss-to-keep photo ratio of this girl is .. well .. up there. She just won't sit still for anything!  Copperbanded butterfly... He seems to not mind the camera. I find bits and pieces of him sneaking into the frame of just about any shot I take of the tank.

Very nice, Tony. I love the gorgonian, too.

Great pics Tony. Heh, my wrasse is like your potters angel, impossible to get a decent shot of (well maybe 1 out of every 200) but his butt is in 50% of the pics I take of other stuff

My new camera has a continuous mode on it, if you hold the button down and try and keep the fish in the view finder 1 of the 50 or so pics will be ok. You just have to do alot of deleting afterward.

I would love to know the exact setting that some people are using when taking photos. I think I am much like you Tony and struggle to get even 1 good picture out of 100.
