Had a whirlwind chance at the zoo and aquarium in Georgia. Definitely worth the visit to the aquarium if you can! Here's a few...

And a few from the aquarium...weird seaweed like seahorse! Pretty tough light...I think these are all 85mm, 1.4, iso800.

    You got some keepers! Your aquarium shots turned out really nice...nice and sharp and I don't feel like I am looking through plexiglass! The baby panda shots are adorable ... I especially like the tree climbing one. Looks like he/she is smiling! :D

    I like the last aquarium shot a lot. Great color and shape. I tried to shoot in one yesterday, and I can vouch for how difficult it is.

    Thank you and yes, VERY difficult! I wanted a few of their whale sharks but they never came down from the top of the tank. ne_nau.gif

    Excellent captures especially the last shot. I got to shoot at that aquarium last year and it was a great place to shoot.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thank you! That seahorse was TOUGH to photograph...I think I spent 20minutes just trying to get him nailed. He kept drifting behind the seaweed. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks...yes, VERY nice aquarium. I really recommend it to anyone in the Georgia area. Nice little zoo as well but I'm spoiled by the NC zoo. I'd like to go back to the GA aquarium when I'm not so rushed. I needed to catch a flight so I did the aquarium & zoo all in 1 morning.

    Heh...thanks...the first one is my favorite. It was nice to be able to frame her on the tree with mom on her way to check things out.
