    Photos from Atlanta Aquarium

    These are a few shots from the Atlanta Aquarium that my wife and I visited last week, Jeff

    The third shot has some yellow sea horses in it and the last shot is a Dragon Fish. All were taken with my new Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 lens on my Nikon D7000

    The 3rd down has some wonderful color. That dragonfish is crazy-looking.. like an underwater anteater.

    Awesome pics! :thumbsup:

    New to the forum, just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am a total amateur and just bought a Sony DSC-HX100V and am enjoying playing with it. It is pretty high tech for me, I'm used to my Sony point and shoot (DSC-W200). Was wondering if anyone out there can help me with tips, advice, ideas on how to use this camera. Any advice would be totally appreciated. I'm located in the Chicago area and am also looking for people to go out and shoot with me sometime.

    Jeff,

    Wow! Great shots - all of them. Beautiful colors.....I absolutely love that Dragonfish. This is the first time I have ever heard of or seen a fish like this. Quite interesting to say the least. What are the various "tentacles" used for? It is a beautiful fish.

    Liz

    Re: Photos from Atlanta Aquarium

    I very much appreciate everyone's comments about my pictures. I think I am still getting the hang of this new lens. It may just be the glass that I was shooting through that caused me to get a lot of throw away photos. Some were good and some were just plain soft. I just received this lens so I am still checking it out. Thanks again for your comments, Jeff

    Re: Photos from Atlanta Aquarium

    The Dragon fish is quite an odd specimen!

    In my experience shooting in the aquarium it like tossing a loaded coin, many shots do not come out sharp enough due to many reasons, window reflections, dirty windows, camera shake, to low a speed for moving fish, or too high ISO and a lot of noise.

    You shot at quite low speeds on a couple of them , hand held ? I suppose they are , just saw on the web that the lens has OS

    Whenever I get a new lens it takes me a few weeks to get used to it and really start to get some decent results because, by then, I know the advantages and disadvantages of the particular lens.
