Most people use an outside source, such as http://www.photobucket.com - http://www.photobucket.com and upload the pictures there. When you are done uploading you can click on one of the image codes and post them here. Just copy and paste.

Is this flash off of the glass? I think you need to practice different angles and distances from the tank to see if you can remove the flash reflection. I am not an expert so that is the best I can give you.

I don't use any photo hosting place on the web. I re-size the pictures,
store them on my computer, save them in Flash Drive or CD and upload
them here. I would never trust a free place to keep my pictures intact. There are many graphics software programs for re-sizing photos. I use a free one called Soap2. If you do anything with digital photos, you ought to have a program like this so you can crop & rotate, sharpen & color and re-size any pic, yet keeping the original for re-use. Re-sizing is important so that the 1 Meg pic you took with your camera can be more easily sent in email and posted here without losing any of the clarity. This works best for me because I often post pics that I have used many times before for answering the same question. Having it already stored here on the MB allows me to quickly select it to show the next new hobbyist. I agree about the flash. The easiest thing to learn is to stand at an angle to the aquarium, so the glass does not become a mirror. Second easiest thing to learn is to turn off the flash and let the aquarium lights do the job. While we are on the subject, a more difficult thing to notice when taking pics, is the glare of other well lighted objects in the room reflecting off the glass into the camera. Here is a good example:  The entire right corner of the tank looks messy because of the reflection of the other tank and the sunny front window.  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
