love these pics from the vancouver aquarium!
i took them over the weekend while attending my favorite niece’s birthday party. how cool was it to get a ‘behind the scenes’ tour of a vancouver tourist attraction? pretty darn cool i have to say.
thank you to joyce and percy for allowing us to attend, since we missed the weekend before with family obligations. it was really special hanging out with you and kids [yep, all 16 of em!] for the afternoon. we had a ball!
the photos were shot using my canon 50mm f/1.8 fixed lens. a cheapie $80 lens worth every single penny. the low lighting conditions and constant movement of the fish [damn you fish!] necessitated the use of this lens, and i gotta say i’m thrilled i have it in my arsenal. so much so that i’m investing in a wide-angle, fast, fixed f/1.8 sigma lens. those of you out there in photo-land know what i mean by fast… you just can’t beat a low-lighting shot without flash! atmosphere and ambiance that is truly amazing… magical even.
for more jellyfish, anemone and dolphin pics, please visit my flickr site.
now this is ambiance… look at that lighting. pure magic!
