Jack Fish

Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 25 February 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

When you first walk into the aquarium there are huge tanks that hold these jack fish that are speeding through the tank like they are in a race!

I have uploaded some of my favorite images to redbubble for sale http://www.redbubble.com/people/jenseye

This is wonderful, Jen ... can't even tell it was taken through glass ... super job!

@Judy: Very hard to take through that thick glass they have. Between scratches, dirt, reflections, etc. it's tough, but I was lucky to get some pretty cool shots! : D

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

Amazing things, I always think they look so angry...

@Richard_Irwin: Perhaps they are just "determined" LOL!

This looks like it's shot in HD. Great aquarium shooting, Jen. Perfect lighting and dof.

@amy: The glass in the aquariums is usually so hard to shoot through but I lucked out on some shots!

Melissa W. from Warsaw, Indiana, United States

I love aquariums, so I'm really looking forward to this series. I'm amazed that with an ISO 400, there's no noise! And with a shutter speed of 1/15, they still look sharp! WOW!!! Excellent work! You'll have to give me some tips. :) Again, excellent work!

@Melissa W.: "Auto" - really, the lighting and the crowded conditons are tough, so I chose auto and was amazed at some the clarity I got...I sharped it up a bit and played around with the levels but that was it.
