Ok, so I'm new to the hobby.
I've gotten a big pile of rocks with all sorts of goodies growing on em, and have asked a couple times for identifications (and have gotten great answers, thank you all!).
But, my pictures..well..they suck..
I have an ok camera..3.2mp with 10x optical zoom and a macro mode.
But the thing can't seem to focus well on the smaller things in the tank.
Even manual focus is poor quality (and a tad frustrating).
So, short of sealing a webcam in an acrylic box and watching things from the inside (trust me, I've contemplated that idea), how does one take great, detailed pictures of the goodies in our clear boxes without spending as much on photography equipment as one spent on the tank?
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
