Jellies! Part 2

[ShaunK]

Putting these here because I used my 55 micro, but technically, these are just closeups. One thing I found, jellyfish just don't stay still!!! Not sure what kind they are, but I like them!

Nice set. Tried that once. Yours came out better.

Very nice Shaun. These are beautiful images. Great note cards or wall hangings.

Thank you Alex. I was pleasantly surprised at how many good ones I got, considering I'm not that good with MF lenses. The D700's high ISO capabilties never cease to amaze me, though.

Very nice Shaun. These are beautiful images. Great note cards or wall hangings.

Thanks Art! I wouldn't have thought of the note cards, but I am enjoying using a few of these as my desktop backgrounds. :smile:

These are great, just like the first ones you posted...!

My fave of this batch is the second...!

Great shots Shaun! I love the first - the clarity & color are great.

2 questions - 1) did you have the lens to the glass and wait for them? 2) Were you using a flash or just the display lights?

Thank you William! I appreciate that.

Thanks, Chad. I had the lens right up to the glass. I tried pre-focusing, but that didn't work to well, so I single out the fish I wanted, and just MF'd until I got the shot. No flash. That's why I'm so amazed at the quality of these with the ISO's I had to shoot at (1000-2000). I love the D700!!!

Thanks - you certainly made that D700 work for you with these shots.

 

[ShaunK]

Thanks again, Chad!

Thanks all! I wish I could have spent all day and then some at the aquarium...

These were taken at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach.
