Thanks for looking

polartownjunkie

you've really captured the sea creatures at question here well,
i might've cropped a couple, maybe not
i prefer the second from the top because:

1. awkwardness
2. the entire scheme
3. real world focus
4. your subject's niche is demonstrated well, in these several ways


i enjoyed your moments

Awais Yaqub

Nice photos i like the 2nd most

Lord Vetinari

good shots like them- always find corals and things fascinating
Understand the light colouration (I keep tropical fish) but they look good like this. Always difficult shooting through thickish glass because of the chromatic aberrations and distortion you can get especially if the shots aren't taken at right angles to the glass.

You have a nice tank. My fav is #2 because of sharpness, and shape/color of the subject. Thanks for sharing.

These are fascinating organisms. I can appreciate how difficult it must have been to capture these images.

Great work

Hi Kelly ...... I love Aquariums, just trying to organize a trip with one of the Scientists I work with, so I chuckled to myself when I saw your post.

The creatures of the sea are quite amazing, and what a wonderful underwater garden they make with their brilliant colours, shapes, and graceful movements.

Thanks for sharing ..... Skippy

There really not that bad

What i did i had to take them of the rock that i put them on and put them as closes to the glass in the sand.... then i have to keep the cam almost strat with the glass if you do it on a angles you will get distortion like what Lord Vetinari Said

HERE IS THE TANK SHOT with one of my fav. fish (NOTE: this is a point and shot PICS)

this one WITH FISH you have to use a flash becoues thay move to fast and you know what that can do

We're going to the Melbourne Aquarium, which I have never ever been to in my life so I have no idea what's in there or how it's even set up.

We're just going there to take photos, just a fun day out, it's trying to get the same day off that's the problem .... Skippy
