10-13-10 – Fish

oops. I got lost in the car discussion. Sharks ok? crustaceans no, right?

It’s a nice favor to warn me if you’re posting tentacles!

I’ve got a couple jellyfish photos on my short list FYI. I don’t know if they count as the sort of tentacles that creep you out, but I wanted to put it out there just in case. I can give you a preview link if you’d like to see them in advance.

I know it’s early but here is one of my b-sides. I would have loved to have entered it but I it needs to be seen bigger than 640.

It’s a salmon about 20′ away from a guy fishing. It’s really hard to tell it’s a fish (hence the reason it’s a b-side)

My only worthwhile b-side. I love this shot of my mother in law’s cat but decided to save this one for another contest.

The family is going to the aquarium tomorrow. It will be too late for this contest, but any advice on shooting in such an environment would be appreciated.

Nice cat/fish pic! I can understand saving it for…I did, I did tee a puddy tat, perhaps?

Due to the illumination of the aquariums I was at, I had to use ISO 1600 (as high as I can go with my anon xTi), and exposures of 1/100th to 1/200th second. No flash–it’s worthless at an aquarium. Tough to get, and I’m less-than-thrilled, but…they at least fit the theme.

I ALMOST went to one of those fancy aquarium spots, where the lighting would have been far better, but I opted to spend the $20 on a couple shirts instead. Didn’t feel much for this contest, unfortunately. But one can’t be thrilled with all themes, I suppose.
