I'm surprised no one talked about this article yet. This is a great article.
I have already improved my aquatic photography just by adjusting the exposures settings. The photographic step by step of how the different settings look really give you a good idea on how turning that exposure dial effects the lightness/darkness of the whole picture. Now if only I had a beautiful aquascape to take a picture of.  -John N.

I wish they talked a little bit about exposure compensations though, throwing an exposure compensation can help with getting an propper exposure from the background if your using using direct flash on the foreground.

I got a Canon Power Shot A560 for my birthday which I love, but have been unable to figure out any of the manual settings... I have been trying for months to take good pictures of my fish and such. After reading the article about a half hour ago, I immediately fiddled with the settings using most of what was suggested in the article... took a couple shots on the new manual settings and then the auto settings again to compare... I can definitely tell a difference! Can't wait to try it again tomorrow when the lights are actually supposed to be on in the tanks.
 Before - Auto Settings:  After - Manual, suggested from article:

I think Jason's done a good job with that article especially for those on a budget.
The difference for me on a DSLR is you get to shoot with wider angle lenses to give more perspective enhancement. The good point about point and shoots are they generally give better depth of field for the same amount of light.
