Another Jellyfish

Took this at the aquarium. Hard to get shots of moving jellyfish!!

This is a great shot. Good framing (must have been quite a job, as you sat, nailing a moving jellyfish).

 

I love the combination of the dark blue and the warm yellow. The shot looks a bit grainy, though. It this a crop? The grain doesn't bother me - I actually like the texture it adds to the fish.

 

Well done!

This is cropped - there was another jellyfish not far behind. This is also saved at a low resolution so the original is not so grainy.

Fantastic colors and contrast. I like the framing too.

Luck: you got lucky to find one moving.

 

Timing: you got this at the right moment, and your settings were good too.

 

Good eye: you knew exactly what to photograph. You nailed it.

Fantastic colours and details. A sci-fi shot!

I have made several jelly fish attempts and agree they are very tricky. This is a beauty, great color and flow.

AWESOME SHOT!! Love the colors, great crop. Job well done.

Great colors. Original photo. Excellent lighting.

Beautiful composition. Very effective.

This is nice. I've tried for the same shot and not gotten one as nice. If I were to rate it (which I didn't) I'd go a little low on originality, only because I've seen these jellies and pictures so many times. Regards.

Mostly the underwater picture are here under rated, I now that this is very difficult and appreciate that, yours are beautifull.

must have been a very difficult shot, i love the colors, very vibrant

This is Fab!

 

Hows the D1 deal with such low light situations? I assume part of the grain [as well as from cropping], is from a high ISO.

ISO 1600, F4.5 at 1/10 sec. Handheld, but if I remember right, I held it on the glass to steady it. Normally I can barely get a sharp shot at 1/60! This was definitely in very low lighting!

beautiful colours!! I'd love to do underwater photography.. have to take a diving course and get a house for my camera I guess ;-) good work!

Not underwater photography - held camera against the glass of the aquarium and got this shot somehow!

Great shot!! I love the colors!!

Excellent, superb colors.

great colors on this one

Great shot, wonderful colors!!! I know how difficult can it be to get one of this things on the camera, I have one in my portfolio called "Neons" I also took it at the aquarium in Seattle, if you have some time take a look of it.

I will look at it, Carlos. I'm eager to go back to the aquarium and try this again.
