[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 167213, member: 8635"] Pat, I posted this on another site just in case it might help someone in the same situation. I will cut and past my camera settings that I used in case it might be of some help to others. I took this at the aquarium in Gatlingburg, Tn, and thought it came out pretty good so I decided I would post my settings for those of you that might be visiting an aquarium and need a starting point for the settings to use on your camera. I set my camera to aperture priority and set the aperture to F7.1 so I could get some depth of field. The ISO was set to 1600 with a shutter speed of 1/60 sec. I was using matrix metering and popped up the on board flash for fill light. This was shot with a Nikon D600 and Tamron 24-70 F2.8 lens. You do need to remember to watch out for the flash reflection in the glass. If you shoot flash as your main source of light you will miss out on some of the little things in the background that makes the picture. These shots could have been shot without a flash but the flash is what makes the colors pop and look so vivid on the subjects. [/QUOTE]
