    Digital.
    F/Stop f/5.3
    exposure time 1/320sec
    iso 800

    Light was an issue thats why i used the flash but I forgot to bring the iso down. and i would love to get a faster shutter speed but its just was too dark. the iso made some noise but i should have cleaned the glass before i took the photo. only saw it once i put it on the pc. its hard to get one of the orange ones to stand still. the camera doesn't really have manual focus . that would help me allot.

    why do you ask?

    OK, I'll give in...

    And just because I am Zoom, my first one is going to be VERY different. It is of a "friend" who helped me with a water change one afternoon...

    This is my current male Angel protecting his bunh of +/- 75 to 100 wrigglers. The female was going baserk at the top of the tank trying to chase my hand away, that I had placed on the glass at the top to distract her whilst taking this pic.

    I need to dust the camera off this weekend first. I haven't used it for months, I just don't have as much time anymore to go looking for birds and finding good shots of 'life' in general :blink1:

    Well my photographic skills are not great and this was taken with a cheap samsung 3.2MP camera, it was taken about 2 years back as can be seen, only surviving fish from that Tank is a common Plec that I now have for nearly 3 years.
