Thanks for the compliment
Didn't notice my nick has an underscore though
Anyway, I usually take pictures using macro mode on my DC
I found that it is good to zoom in to maximum focus and then zoom in a little more
I also use focus lock, which means the camera will not auto focus when I press the shutter
For moving pictures, I use shutter priority mode and set the shutter speed to about 1/20 and turn on multi burst to infinity
And for full tank pics, I use aperture priority and shoot without surrounding lights
A good tip is to try not using any flash when shooting as it sort of makes the picture fake
