@ipt: 1)used a tripod 2)used timer provided on camera 3)used the techniques explained by both you and reefbass
@BorHor: thank you, i am practicing i want to improve thats for sure
@ zero cool: im still learning i did not mess witht he white balance what so ever left it on auto, what do you suggest? i did take that last batch of pictures on manual mode, i practiced with the apeture mode once i learned what did what and what improved what i gave it a shot in manual mode..might get a nicer lense thinking a 90mm

Maybe you said this before, but do you have your camera set to record the files as RAW format and not JPEG? If so, it will be really easy to adjust the white balance in just about any photo editing program that supports RAW files. I always shoot with auto white balance and go back and correct it later in PS.
Oh, and the Sigma 150mm is supposed to be fantastic.

Haha, good luck with that goal.
I've been doing photography since '03 and still haven't gotten there.
+1 haha
I haven't been into photography but a year and a half or so and I can already tell that probably won't happen lol.
When shooting do you take multiple shots of the same image? You may want to cycle around a bit until you find the settings on your tank to allow the sharpest image. Also, your lens may require you to have the camera a bit farther back then what you are currently shooting at.

forget about it. Digital is made to be post-processed. Different situations require different settings so if you just "setup" your camera and shoot everything with a P&S frame of mind something is gonna suffer. You'll get good shots, but maybe not "great" ones. Ansel Adams spent way more time in the darkroom than in the field.
Keep surfing forums and looking around. I am sure you have seen someone post an image and then someone else threw a few "adjustments" on it and it trasformed the quality exponentially. You need to start with a good image (proper exposure, sharpness, etc) but then what you do with that digital information (negative) will make all the difference in the world.

Couldn't agree more, but I'd say most of my images are 90% there in camera. My main goal is to get it as close as possible in camera to save time and money spent on post processing by my clients.
