:D

hold ur cam and wait till your turtle get steady !

and always use macro modes for shooting, and also try to keep ur hands real steady while clicking to get the sharp picture.

high flash from close range can have adverse effect . . . as even we people go blind for few micro seconds from a falsh at close range,

try using bulb or other light source and focus on them to get the photographs.

yes, macro mode.

but, notice that your turtles (unless they are honestly used to your presence) will probably jump off their dock or jump away off something.)

it took a long while before I could take nice pictures of my turtles, just because they would become overly excited when they saw me anywhere near their tank

These are great tutorials for learning how to take awesome pictures, (though none of them are for underwater pictures, seeing as it's a handmade craftish site.)

There are lots, and they're really very useful. =)
