LOL, Chorts lost with out chat!!

Killer stuff Shawn. You picked up some sweet pieces man.
I am no where near a good photographer, but a few tips that help me you could try would be to kill all flow, clean glass, and figure out your WB. From there photobucket allows you some pretty cool editing features for free you could play with. Just remember to always save a copy not replace original.

I find you also get better pictures using only one light source at a time. If you use your flash (which in the dark basically is your shutter speed, so superfast) don't use tank lights, if you use tank lights, don't use both main lights and actintics, pick one or the other and no flash. Otherwise you are trying to fight a white balance with multiple kelvin light sources, which doesn't work out very well.

As Adalius said, it appears you're using your flash as well as the tank lights which is giving you a bit of trouble capturing the colors your eye sees in the tank.

im not sure how many manual settings you have on your camera, but the more you have, the easier it is to capture what you see... unfortunately it also means the harder the cam is to operate LOL

u guys are right on the money..... I am getting washed out pics often but I am not using the flash on all the shots. still playing with it but I feel that these pics are getting better each time I try something new so I will get it down eventually! Thanks for the tips!
