What camera is everyone using and please post your single BEST photo and possibly list your camera settings for all of us that are new. I have a sony DSC-F717 with optical zoom, awesome camera but I simply can't figure out how to take a good tank photo. Here is my best one so far. Colors are washed really washed out and blurry

Yup....yellow polyps. started as a single hitchhiker many moons ago and grew into a pest of a colony.
I seldom turn the pumps off for photos......now and then I have....but not normally. From time to time I'll use a tripod....depends on the situation. As I recall the posse was shot from a tripod but the crabs were hand held.
