Monterey, Aquarium

Posted by Aaron on February 27th, 2008

Here are some new quick grabs from Monterey and Big Sur that I wanted to share.

These are Chris’ feet standing on a very small beach as we prepared to photograph sunset.

During the first two days it was very gloomy and rainy, but the fog created some awesome scenes.

I also spent a couple of hours at the Monterey Aquarium (as I mentioned earlier). I won’t have any “serious” photos ready until after I return and get a chance to really edit them, but for the time being, here are some quick edits of some of the things I saw:

This tank has mirrors on both side walls so it looks like the jellies go on forever.

The aquarium is literally at the seaside and although it was raining, the view was spectacular.

Here is the somewhat famous kelp forest at the Monterey Aquarium. This is one of the most photographed and publicized features of the place.

    I love the jellyfish there. Did you manage to get any decent up-close shots of the moon jellies without using a flash? Those things continue to confound me because they have no well-defined edges for autofocus to work on and they move just a little too fast for the amount of light in the display to provide for a good shutter/aperture setting.

    I’ve gotten at least one nice shot of a blue jelly there that’s worthy of display (imho):

    Hand-held with an EOS 10D/17-40mm lens, through several inches of curved plexiglas. I won’t tell you how many other shots of the same exhibit got deleted. ;-)

    Hi, I really love your beautiful photography, and I looked up something about positive/negative for an art quilt Yahoo group where we are studying art principles and came to your site, and it was one of the best discussions I have found so I provided a link to your site. I tried to comment on that page, but the choice of letter in the alphabet challenge wouldn’t work, so I couldn’t write about it there. I do really appreciate your excellent work and your writing as well. Thank you so much. Peace and many blessings, Annie
