Is there a speical camera to take tank shots with? How about some basic guide lines? Flash, lights on or off. Can't get in the POTM unless I can take a decent picture :^:
Most people on the site use just regular point and shoot cameras. I turn my flash off because it will cause a glare on the glass of the tank. I also tend not to zoom in too much when I take my pictures because I can always crop the section of the picture that I want later.
If photographing fish, use your multiple shot option and your "sport" or "action" settings (if you have any). IF you choose to use a flash, practice shooting at an angle to avoid the glare. You will also want some decent editing software. I recommend PhotoShop Elements 8, IMO.
I use a Nikon point and shoot, turn the glare off, turn ON macro mode (if taking pics of coral), get a short distance away from the glass at a straight on angle, zoom in and hold as still as possible. Wish I had a DSLR :grumble:
