Chattanooga Aquarium CC

[Hooker771]

I am now a member of the Chattanooga Aquarium and will have ample opportunity to go back and take some more photos. I only took my nifty 50 and Tokina 100mm 2.8 today. And given the light conditions in the aquarium im not sure I could of used anything else that I own. Basically everything is low light (except the butterfly/flower garden) and all the wildlife is behind very thick glass making it very difficult to use a flash. I did not have a tripod.

Awesome shots, even more so considering the conditions?

Thanks, I know I can def. lower my iso on the flowers next time. I didnt realize it was up so high until I had shot most of them. I came from the aquarium in to their natural light gardens and simply overlooked that. Also, I hope to get some extension tubes for the 100mm next time for more butterfly shots.
