I will start off by saying that my knowledge and understanding of photography is sketchy at best. However I am keen to learn and so a very generous collegue has lent me his old Nikon D40 to play with over the weekend.
I have become increasingly frustrated trying to get quality shots of my tanks progression using my canon compact. So I approached a friend at work who has a fetish for photography and he was only too happy to oblige. His quick "Press this, press that, do this, do the other instruction was a little too brief, so hopefully with a little guidance and tutoring from your good selves I can get some good images?
Could any of you pros point me in the right direction of a simple "Idiots guide" of basic settings that I should be adhering to which will help me capture some quality shots of my tank, and achieve anything like the quality photography that can be found in these here threads.
