Took Nat to the Aquarium on Friday. She loved it! She is still talking about "fish blue". Shooting fish in a tank is hard though. I did manage a couple of decent shots...

I took my girl there a while back. The whole place is just not set up for taking pictures. I was able to get a couple good ones, including one of the lion fish above. I'll see what I can get online. Did you manage to get the lense flush against the glass? I found my best results were from doing that.

I got close, but not right up against, at least not all the time.

Pentax K100d in full auto mode, stock 18-55 lens pressed right up against the glass. I got more bad pictures than good, but it's usually that way.

I like the sea horse pic (they all came out good). When I looked in that tank, there were a couple laying on their side, apparently near death. I don't think they take care of them as well as they used too...
