Hi Jaggy - I am in the same boat as you - I just got myself a new Nikon D40 DSLR...

What settings are you using here?

Have a look in my thread what was suggested to me.......

The suggested settings are:
- shutter speed: 1/125 (play with this, slightly up or down)
- aperture setting: f5.6 to f8
- ISO: 400 to 800

See if you get slightly lighter photographs....

hiya fella, nice fish to be taking shots off.

Tank shots are allways difficalt,

I have a nikon d80 and seem to be getting good shots with the settings of 1/80 ss 1000 iso WB on k setting at about 4000k, higher for blue-er shots and lower for yellower,

you can try flicking the fash on too, not on auto as it doesn't work but on manual. have a go.
