...So what camera do you have? Does it have a B(ulb) function? What lens and are they interchangeable?
Do you have a removable flash and a tripod?
Turin- It's a Visioneer LS200. You can't remove the flash but ya can turn it off. I don't have a tripod but it does have a place to use one.
Floh- I have two gold angels in there and another one in another tank.
stck6- I am using two shoplight suspended from the ceiling. I have a glass cover for the tank but only use it at night to keep the heat in the tank. Let me think on plants... Rubin sword, amazon sword (with a bloom stalk that has several pups), dwarf hairgrass, dwarf sagitarria, several java ferns, java moss, Crypt wendenti(bronze), jungle val, cambomba, wisteria, ludwigia repens, foxtail... Eww, that's quite a list. Looks as crowded as some community tanks I've seen. Guess I need more tanks to give them homes. Most of these plants I aquired from ebay last summer. By the way, the plants I received this week for another tank from Florida Driftwood came through in better shape than shipping in the summer.

Looks great! Have fun with your new camera.
And I'm surprised there's only one towel; I have a whole stack.

Unfortunately, you must have one separate flash (cheap one would do the trick too), a steady tripod and a Bulb function in your camera.
Without that I cannot help.
Still, experiment with your camera by trial-end-error.
A separate flash is useful in taking pictures of fish, but not absolutely necessary in over all tank pics. I recommend turning off the flash, setting the f stop to 2.5, and shutter speed to 1/20-1/40. That can get you some decent pics.
hey i want to play too.
these pics were taken with my canon s40, with 3mpls, no flash, and in close-focus mode.

personally, i think hi-tech gadgets can help take nice photos, but sometimes all you need is some good patience and two VERY still hands.
