Here are a few pics of my Pimelodus blochii, of which i have 3 of.

Did you get a new camera for christmas? Your pic skills are definately improving.

No mate this is the same camera that i got a couple of months ago, just having used it a lot more i am starting to kinda know what i am doing with it Glad you like my photos though Must say though i ditch more than i keep

That's the beauty of 'digital'.

I still have trouble with the focus on these little cameras. But I've found with macro, that after the auto-focus has locked in, if I pull back about an inch, then take the shot, I have more success in catching a clear subject.

Most photography books (and Nick) will tell you that sharp focus on the eye(s) of your subject, animals, fish, and people, is an absolute essential.

If you have those little green focus targeting things, in your camera, note where they lock on, on the overall body of your fish, then pull back the estimated difference, toward the eye of your fish. Then, without refocussing, complete the shot.
