Took a few hours to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium this weekend, and these are but a few of the highlights.

    ISO 5000? Your D3 makes it look so easy. We know you have the hard job of pushing the big button.:D Nicely done no less.

    Hi again :D

    The Jelly Fish displays at Monterey Bay are a MUST SEE,
    April took me there two years ago, I tell you I was in awe of what I saw.

    Some of those Jelly fish are so big I'd be absolutely freakin out if I ever found myself in the sea with them :uhoh

    My favourites where the ones that lit up and there was a smaller tank in the shape of a Port Hole that had some really tiny ones in it.

    The ones in your last shot, I don't recall seeing those when I was there.
    Interesting shape they look like ghostly Trilobite fossils :D

    Great shots! I love snapping jellyfish as well. Tricky to do in such low light, though.

    Very cool. The jellies were my favorite there too. I spent about an hour just staring at the large display.

    I took a few shots myself that I can post on this thread... let me know if that's OK with you. I don't want to hijack your thread.

    Ah - didn't realize I might be hijacking. It it considered impolite 'round these parts to post images into someone else's thread?
