Good shots
Nikki ... I love my Canon G2 ... G3 would be even nicer I am sure.
I try to take the pictures of fish with a light flash. Very difficult to catch them without a flash in a nice still fashion. I do not get right up to the glass either, a good 6 inches away. The fish can not be swimming toward the back of the tank either, it is best when they are in the first 6 inches or so of the tank.
I try not to use automatic mode. That way I can vary the amount of flash and sometimes the exposure as required.
For coral shots I try not to use the flash. Again, the subject has to be more toward the front than the back to get a good picture.
I do not use auto mode here either ... I try to use most the standard settings with no flash in the macro mode in the P setting.
Believe me, it takes time and practice to get it right
