Does anyone have any suggestions for photographing small tropical fish in a tank ?

The main issues are lack of light and obtaining focus.

The one below is Iso 400, 1/125sec and f 2.8 using a Sigma macro.

It was taken through glass (without a polarising filter).

The water in the tank is quite fast moving and the fish are very fast moving.

A lot more light would be a good starting point, but I do not think that the owners of the fish would appreciate me 'blasting' them with a flashgun or two !

Excellent news.

Changing the subject, do you have any connection with Harold Hayles in Yarmouth :

I thought that it was just a test to see if uploading images worked correctly

The smilies seem to have a bug. Now you notice that you have a button and all the smilies opened.You can not click a smilie directly, otherwise nothing happens. First click the button to close, then click again to open. Now you can place a smilie.
Still some little things to repair,right :

Never would have guessed that one - thanks Martin

We need to impress on people that if you enter the Weekly Competition you do need to fire up your computer on a Monday morning !

For the K10 or K20, as well as the Lithium batteries that they are supplied with, like many others I use the 'cheapo' Lithium batteries from 7 Day Shop in the Channel Islands.

Would there be a way for the judge to comment on the individual photos as the week goes on, but for those comments to be visible to everyone else only after the competition has closed, or even better when the judge chooses to 'publish results'? That way, it saves having to cut and paste from a seperate document.

If this seems like a good idea, perhaps we could suggest it to the team.

Dan
A very, very good idea.
