Not as good as I had hoped, but not bad for 1st attempt. I need to try the white balance thing with the coffee filter. How do you get the photos so large? I could not find a setting on photo bucket or do I need to get a photo shop program?

If your image is already saved to your camera at 1280 x 960 or something, you don't have to do much. However, if your camera saves pictures to 600 x 450, you can't post large wallpapers without creating pixelation/distortion as the image is stretched to look larger.

Also, some hosting sites will resize your images automatically. I host my own images on my site, so I can pick the size I want it to be and it will display as intended.

Those are awesome pics Mark. I will have to keep working with my ol Canon S-20. I am sure, not the best for those type of pics. I cannot seem to get the white balace right. I tried to coffee filter tip, but did not seem to help. Must practice more. Or its another good reason to upgrade cameras.

I just place a piece of white PVC in the tank, and point the camera at that when I set the white balance. This works well for me. White acrylic, white cutting board material, both would work as well.

White balance

White balance

Mark, or anyone,
My camera has I slide scale (for lack of better words) from -2 to +2. Do you look at the color through the LCD screen or what? I guess that is were I am getting it wrong. I try to set it looking through the LCD screen, with the filter material in front of it.
Do you actually put the pvc in the tank or just in front?

It sounds like you are setting Exposure Compensation instead of White Balance, but I could be wrong. My camera has a White Balance setting that has about 6 preprogrammed ones, and room for two of my own. I put the PVC in the tank in a well-lighted spot, and then follow the directions on the screen to set it to memory.
