This photo was a problem and still turned out like ****e.
That was shot a few months back at the Baltimore Aquarium. I was pleased with nearly everything I took there, except the jellyfish - I couldn't shoot them to save my life.
My issues were that the glass was thick and not necessarily clean and the fact that the jellyfish actually move faster than you think kept me from ever getting a good shot.
Because the light in the tanks was VERY low, I had to keep the lens wide open which killed the depth of field - so if a jelly fish was horizontal, part would be in focus and part would be out, should I be even lucky enough to get any of it in focus through the dirty glass.
Does anyone have any suggestions for that kind of shoot? I'm getting a chance to go back in 3 weeks and would like to make the best of it.
