    Read somewhere that the top two most popular hobbys in the world is photography and keeping aquarium. In that order I think.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    ... I am already using a SB-800.

    Did my photos appear dark to you? Maybe need to calibrate my monitor...

    BTW, all the photos are straight out from the camera with just resizing except for the yamato photo where I adjust the brightness/contrast.

    I faced some problem taking the shots of my fishes because the front of my tank is curve. That caused some of my photos to have "astigmatism".

    Oh... That photo was taken with the flash from the top of the tank. That was the one that I needed to adjust the brightness. The flash did not get to it because the guy was too close to the tank wall.

    you have to practice adjusting the position of the flash.

    I have some better ones in RAW format. I am still figuring out how to convert them into JPEG with the rigth color space...

    Took about 150pics in one night... :P... I am wondering whether any fishes got blinded by all the flashes...

    Still got a lot to learn...

    Good thing that there is a lot of sifus here...
