Waikiki Aquarium 11/11/08

If you are ever looking for a challenging shoot, then the Waikiki Aquarium is for you. It's dark and the fishes move fast! I had a difficult time and most of my pictures came out blurry. I was using my 50mm f1.4 lens exclusively and I really have to learn how it works.
I spent a lot of time waiting for 'Dory' only to get a shot where she's hidden in a school of fish (center).

I could only get slow moving fishes like this one.
Then, there were the few that were razor sharp. I guess it must be a 'user problem'.The Jelly fish was another difficult shot. Here's one-not-so-blurry lucky shot.
I must've taken 50+ shots of the sea dragons, but finally got a decent one. The two of them seemed more docile then usual today.
We waited and waited in front of this tank...And finally got our fish..he swims really fast..
I like this shot since even though it was dark in there, I took this w/o a tripod.Here's the sunset I took on Saturday...not much of a sunset with the clouds blocking the entire view, but the sky was really nice.
