I'm still practicing taking picture of my shrimps, but still no good till now. I wish for a tutorial of shrimp photography by professional photographer like speedie.

He gets asked this a lot. He has provided small summaries of his equipment in various threads. Here is a small snippet so he doesn't have to repeat it here:

I shoot with a Canon 60D. My lens of choice for these shrimp photos is my Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro. I shoot with an off shoe flash, which is triggered via a wireless radio trigger. That way the flash doesn't create glare/reflection from the glass tank.
