Hi:

What kind of camera are you using? If a point and shoot type without
control of shutter speed it may be more difficult. Most point and shoots
will sync to a shutter speed of about 125 when using the flash. Try that.

If using a 35mm with Aperture or Shutter priority settings choose the
fastest shutter speed you can and a more open Aperture (small f numbers mean
bigger aperture or hole that the light goes through). On a sunny day you
might be able to use a shutter speed of 1000 and an aperture of F3.8. You
will have to focus more carefully with the open aperture as your depth of
field will be shorter.

Hope this helps,
Heather

Whenever I have taken out the camera, all I get is a blur of color. What
are
all of you doing to get such great shots? Put another way, how did you
train
your fish to stay still long enough to take their picture?

Guessing that a flash and polarizer are the keys to all of this, but what
settings are generally being used?

Thanks in advance.
