The photo is a little bright due to over exposure. I dont know anything aby the camera that you are using but from what you put you are able to adjust the exposure? If so, just bring it down some.

The photo quality is nice. If you cannot adjust the exposure on your camera then it can be done in post processing.. I changed the brightness on the photo below.

Overall, quality photos!

Thanks for the info! I'm afraid that makes it look a little "radioactive", like the green on the tentacles or the blue/purple at the bottom of the pic on the frag rack. The software that comes with the camera allows for a few types of exposure adjustments.

Dark areas
Light areas
Overall brightness
Overall contrast

So would I simply lower the Overall brightness, or just the Light areas? I suppose I should be trying it, instead of asking you LOL....

I was too lazy yesterday to try more pics. Will take some when I get home today, with even lower exposure...

OK, lower exposure, fresh off the camera, zero editing... I think it depends where in the tank I am shooting, as well as how much blue coral is in the shot. I just wish the light/dark contrast wasn't so severe....
