A Walk Through the Aquarium

[drgibson]

On a trip to Tennessee we went to the Tessessee Aquarium. I went in without my monopod or tripod, I was in a spot so I put on my 105mm macro and lied to the CCD and cleaned them up in post processing.

May be a dumb question but wwhat is "lied to the ccd"?

I like #3 the best although I think the DOF is a little to thin.
#2,And #4 are also what I like.
Just my personal taste .I am in no way trying to tell your Photos are lacking.

Basically all I did was bump up the ISO to 1000 and then I shot everything underexposed 2 steps which the Fuji Raw file converter will allow me to recover from with a very minimal loss if any. And as you can tell there is also very little noise thanks to the Kick butt CCD it has.

As for the DOF I bleieve I was shooting at 2.8f 1/90 of a second due to there somewhat active state and the crowds. Also used a circrular polarizer to kill the reflections of the glass. No flash.

Come on ppls C&C please.

Nice set.
I like what you did with the ISO and underexposing it 2stops and recovering afterwards, I'll have to give that a shot myself ;D

My own crit is the border.
You seem to use it on all your work and I just find it distracting rather than helping the image.

Yeah the border isn't the best.
