Trying to improve photography skills

[Sunpoe]

The camera is a Canon A610. I don't know much about cameras but these are some of the settings I had. The pics were taken at iso 400 and the shutter rate was 1/80 with no flash. There was very post editing done, I only have the software that came with the camera. Any pointers are very welcome!

Looks good to me, so does the leichardti. I too find that pics with the flash turn out better, sometimes extra light from a small light pointed at the fish from a different angle of the camera like above or below can enhance photos. Just an idea I'm no expert with cameras.

I used the oldest trick in the book, get a new camera. Should get it shortly. Your pics aren't that bad to begin with. You should look for advice from Aquatic Photpgraphy, and Rallysman, he is getting really good.

try increasing the iso to 800 theres to much noise when shooting low light do you have shutter and aperture priority on that camera

I think my cam only goes between iso 50 to iso 400. I take my photos in manual mode so I can adjust the shutter rate if that helps? I am not exactly sure what you mean by aperture, please bare with me I ' m a newbie. I will try to read up on it and then get back to you.

Thanks to you all for your help and kind words!!!!

Looks to be a jardini. Try using your macro mode on the closeups, they seem a bit off focus. For the high ISO low light conditions, try moving the camera along with the fish to keep him in focus and reduce motion blurring.

Pretty impressive for the first time around Play with the different shutter speeds, ISO settings, white balances,etc. until you know what you like. Most importantly have fun with it!

sorry my bad you want a lower iso to get rid of the grainy look a slower shutter speed and a tripod and you're champion.
looks like you're off to a good start
