At the Aquarium (9 pics)

Had a good time looking at the outrageous creatures. Oh, and the fish were pretty interesting too.

I missed the focus a bit on this one, but I like it anyway. Think I'll try again next time.

All shot with a 20D and Tamron 28-75 f/2.8.

Thanks for looking. C&C always appreciated.

I have no C&C for you, but I will say that I think these shots look great. Even the one where you said you didn't hit the focus. I never thought of taking photographs at an aquarium. Obviously these were done without a flash right? What did you have your other settings at?
Great job.

Shark

ps - Love the last shot. I'm not sure, but you may have caught a couple of my relatives in that photo.

Hey Shark,

Yeah, I thought I saw a family resemblance.

Right, flash is forbidden. I was shooting at ISO 1600 except for the ray, which was 3200. The other settings varied quite a bit depending on the light in each tank, but mostly it was between f/2.8 and f/5 and anywhere from 1/30 to 1/250 sec. I used manual focus the whole time, as my lens AF couldn't lock well in the dim light.

Very nice stuff Richard. I'd say you had a very successful day getting
these images. Well done. thumb
