One would never guess these pics were taken through a thick glass. It
truly is impressive work. My fav. is the jellyfish and the
butterfly. The lighting and colors are breathtaking. The Aquarium
should be selling these pics for you in their gift shop.

Hey now there's a chance for some gender swapping, mate!

Get your bra and wig on and trot on down. Tell 'em you're the marketing
manage. If you go early enough they won't need to see the 5 O'clock
shadow.
ROTFL. Can you talk with a female voice too?

Hey Helen... How is it my email to your hotmail address last year ended up
in Hotmail's Nashville server farm and not the Toronto one?

Is that how you do the "type word for word exactly what she says before
posting it to Usenet" thing? Boy... I'd just love to see that phone bill
mate!

Douglas, did you do LSD in the sixties?! It just seems to fit the
state of mind you're in, because I have no idea what the hell you're
talking about.

BTW, I'm still waiting for Margie's phone number. Emails are indeed
too impersonal.
Helen

+61431 423760 but I think that's Douggies cell number :-(
worth a shot though :-)

So I wouldn't have to post 8 separate links.

Also, Douggie Dogkiller loves to steal my pics and use them for his
wallpaper. Looks like he's gonna need a bigger monitor!

Lovely work, but as someone who has worked with large aquaria and the
denizens thereof, I should make the green-touchy-feely comment that
flash can scare/stress some of the animals and should be avoided...

**** em. Where they gonna go?

Many of the fish were actually attracted to the flash. And when I set
the Speedlight down on the ledge one of the penguins kept swimming
down to check it out.
I guess it's true what they say .....

YMMV. While it isn't obvious in a couple of shots, it *is* obvious
in a couple others that this wasn't conventional UW photography, but
something else.


It truly is impressive work.

It is (inconsistently) good work given its limitations, but hardly
'impressive'.

Several of them would have been significantly improved by putting the
camera into an UW housing and getting in the water with the subjects,
rather than suffer the artifacts from that interposing glass wall.


*My fav. is the jellyfish and the butterfly.

The best of this bunch are the split-water image penguin, as these are
incredibly hard to do in the wild with the subject being a wild
penguin. For an outdoor real-world shot, wave action is almost always
present and will to affect your split-water framing, even more than
what was seen here, and those buggers are fast and not particularly
cooperative, which adds a second level of complexity on framing, plus
your exposure settings and focus distance is dynamic too, so there's
at least 8 degrees of freedom to try to manage to make each shot.
