A few shots on my new DSLR

[Psylant]

I bought myself a Nikon D7000 for Christmas during the post-Christmas blow-out sales. I have very little experience with SLRs but I think I'm catching on. Here are some of my best shots I've taken so far in the 5 days or so I have had the camera or so.

I was going to say that the Regain was a stunner...but then I realised all your fish are!!! And you photography skills are great!

What camera settings did you use to get these photos? ISO, aperture, shutter speed etc?

Thanks! I got the Regani from a sketchy local pet store when it was about 1cm long. Originally there were two of them but I gave the other one away a while ago, because it was smaller and got picked on too much. Most if not all of the pictures were taken with an ISO of 1250, aperature 5.6, and a shutter speed of 1/30. I have quite a few other fish in the tank as well and I'll post more "good" pictures when I get them.

Thanks guys. Here are a couple more that aren't as good but they're tougher fish to photograph.

Thanks! Yeah it is a pretty awesome camera so far. I'm still learning 70% of the features.
