That really sucks on the loss! Glad you're getting a new top for it to eliminate that problem. How are the rest of the guys acting for ya?
In regards to the pics, if your camera has a macro function, make sure it's turned on. I end up taking any where from 60-100 shots to get good ones. I have a sony 5.1 MP cybershot and what I do is once I have focused on the fish I may have to move the camera with him to get a clear shot as he's moving. If they're standing still then no biggy; take several shots at a time 'cause the one you thought was a good one may be a bit out of focus. Good luck and glad to finally see a pic or two of yours.
