Which focus setting are you using?

Believe it or not, I use manual focus in most of my photos. Why? It gives me full control over what's in focus. It also allows me to focus on the eye of the subject, something viewers almost automatically look at in any picture. Levi is prolly shaking his head at this point.
Another useful tip: wait until the fish is stationary or almost stationary. Learn to predict their behaviour so you'll know when they turn or when they pose in front of you. All fish do this differently, but after a bit of time observing, you'll know exactly where to take the shot and when not to bother.
Take pics a while after you've fed. Nothing more difficult and unnatural than taking pics of fish who are spazzing out at the front glass cause they're hungry and thinking you're going to feed them.

Thank's for the advice. The setting's are all auto. Thank's for the link aswell.

The only reason I'm shaking my head is because you said "prolly".
You're the master at taking pictures, I couldn't disagree with you. I wish I could use manual, but for anything other that stationary objects my eyes just aren't good enough. Damn glasses get in the way.
Nice Dude. What camera did you get? I still havent got used to mine yet either. My new project is the watermark photoshoot

Thanks, Levi. I wear progressive lenses. Astigmatism is really bad.
