Sydney Aquarium Pics
Posted: Thu Aug 03, 2006 5:08 pmI went to Sydney Aquarium for the first time in aaaages on the weekend. Took about 250 shots of which many (okay, most) were varying bits of rubbish.
In the end I maxed out ISO to 1600 or 3200 and used noise ninja in PPing to reduce grain whenever I was shooting fish in a dark tank, and ISO800 for slower moving objects like crustaceans and coral/anemones.
Overall it was a good visit, but the conditions were very challenging to take photos in.
Probably my favourite shot. Thankfully these animals don't move much
As far as fish go, this was the most in focus. This tank was quite well-lit, allowing a faster shutter speed:
Unfortunately I didn't have time to post it at the time, but this would have been my ES July "Motion" entry. Not a LOT of motion, but a little bit of blur:
In terms of most effort put into taking a shot, this is probably it. Blurry because it was drifting slightly, but damnit at least I got something!!:
C&C most welcome : I don't think I'll want it to be ten years until I next go there... and hopefully I'll have bought some faster lenses next time, and worked out my manual focussing issues.
