    thank you very much for the positive comments
    been doing a bit more practice , so here are a few up close under just actinics, with reduced shutter exposure time, in addition to the other tips I had used previously

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The difference is amazing Steve. Taking pictures of corals is a challange but kind of addictive as well. Sometimes one will see something new and interesting, capturing that image is rewarding. Never been much of a photography buff but I see the attraction.

    Thanks Corailline
    they do seem so much better to me, less grainy and more in focus now
    not as good as majority of your images yet
    but I will keep practicing as every so often a really nice one has seemed to happen for me since the tripod and the tips.

    I am wanting to get some better pictures also, and what is ISO? and can it be found on a simple point and shoot digital cam?
