At the Aquarium

[Kvikken]

Picture taken at The Atlantic Sea park, the Aquarium in Ålesund, Norway.
Played with long shutter speed, 6 seconds on this one, and I think it came out pretty cool. I really like the "dreamy" effect of the moving people, but I'd like to hear what other think about it as well.

I just spent some time at an aquarium today, and the lighting is definitely a challenge. I like how you've dealt with it here, and the "dreamy" effect seems to fit the scene. It would have been nice if one of the fish would have held as still as the people at the left, to burn in a little, but the animals are probably not willing to pose . . . :rolleyes:

The cool blues are great and I like the sharp lines of the corner and base of the aquarium glass.

A slightly slower shutter speed may have been good, so the people weren't so ghosted and the fish were a bit stronger.

However, with Russ, I like the colours and lines. For an image like this it is worth taking a number of shots as so much depends on chance. In this one, I think it is great how the two children on the left are almost still and thus quite solid.

I like the feeling of movement in this photo, people coming and going, but the two children being still, their fleeting attention caught by something in the aquarium long enough for you to capture this shot.

We went to an aquarium for my b-day last year and I was not at all happy with my photos. Blah.
