First try with canon 30D macro

[Blazer88]

This tang picture is at 1/15 and not at 1/160. You wouldn't be able to get a proper exposure at 1/160 with an ISO of 100. Are you shooting with your camera set to auto or the P? Try shutter priority (turn the dial to Tv) and set it faster than 1/100, bump the ISO to 800 and see what you get. But you will always get a blurry shot at 1/15.

I don't have a tripod, and after that camera set up I can't afford one either.

Check and see if your dad has a lazer level with a tripod. If he has a lot of tools like our house, you may be in luck! That's where I found my tripod! Now I hope that my husband doesn't go looking for his level anytime soon!:lol:

Blazer88, how did you get that screen to print with all of the information? I'm just wondering how I would do that to some pictures that I have taken so that I can see where everything was set when I took the picture.

I'm not 100% sure about how to do it with XP since I'm running Vista (it's not that great). What I do is right click, go to properties then click on the details tab. It gives me the same information but in a different layout. Hope this helps.

Wow, that's cool Blazer. Odd, I pushed it to 1/160, but then I forgot if I went back to auto or macro mode. I will try the Tv mode and put it to 160 again, I just need to mess around with the ISO, it won't change for me, yet.

get away from the auto modes and try to stick to your creative modes thats where you will do your learning and get more familiar with your camera and its uses and capabilities

Ok. I got the ISO to 800 and shutter at 1/160. Here is new fish pics with those settings. Still can do better? If so, how? Thanks

Many powder brown pics:

Question. Do you use the flash when you are taking pictures of your fish, regardless of what setting you are using?

No. I have MH lighting.
