heres a pic of one of my ammano shrimp. First time I have took a shot of one and while it isnt on a par with some of the shots here, it shows the shrimp in fairly close detail.

I'm not one to bump old threads (generally), but it's stickyt anyway, so here's my best effort to date. Canon S5, no flash, macro set, close as possible - had to wait for shrimp to hold still. This guy is only ~3/4" long in the pic. (regular gravel).

Here is a pic I took with Canon S3IS zoomed in. I also cropped and resized picture. They are not easy to get a good pic of.

I placed some moss near the surface. Then i put some food on it, and cherrys started to gathering.
Then i gently moved over the moss, so my target shrimp was in place for fotoshoot. It didnt semm to bother him, even when i flashed him a fev times.Took about 20 pictures. Cannon A60 2mpix, macro, flash, no zoom (realy crapy camera).
This one is about 2cm big.

It's not a question of how many megapixels it's the lensing.

I have a 10 (?!?) year old Kodak DC265 that has close up lenses and takes pictures of things half inch across that come out a foot long when you display the photos and it's only a 1.6 megapixel camera (or something like that).

Hi Guys

Just noticed this thread also.

I am very new at photographing especially trying to get shots of my Shrimp. I managed to get this shot of my Diamond CRS. Not the sharpest of shots i know but its a learning curve. I have found so far that light is a huge factor aswell as a low ISO. I try to capture the shrimp while they are fairly still. I took a couple more last night which i will add later to this thread for discussion.

Getting good pics of these guys is tough, I had some luck using a 50mm lens reversed on the kit lens of my camera..(little luck,the dof is very narrow)

That last photo is amazing!

To contribute, here is a photo I took last night of one of my unidentified shrimps that I caught in a local creek:

Camera: Panasonic FZ20 using macro mode.
Technique: He just happened to be walking across the front of the tank, so the lens was hard up against the clean glass.

It is about 2cm long, can anyone ID?
