Aquarium shots are really hard to get...at least for me.

@Angry Buddha: It is difficult because the light is so low. I brought a mono pod with me but security busted me half way through telling me that tri pods and mono pods aren't allowed. :0(

@Jen: Good one Jen! I think it is a jack-o-lantern fish!!! :0)
Wow! Great! But why ISO 80?
31 May 2007 3:36pm
@Vikram: Because ISO 32 isn't available yet! Note: the soft focus is not due to camera shake or a low ISO or a slow shutter speed. It is do to the failure of the auto focus mechanism in the camera to focus on the fish through the thick glass aquarium. I would have used the manual focus on the camera if my eyes weren't failing in the low light as well. :0) Thanks for your comments Vikram!!!
What a strange face!

spooky looking guy, great shot

lol! In the thumbnail-version I thought the shining lower "lips" were the eyes. Now I have to laught because it looks like it as some neon thing in its mouth. Like the effect a torch put under your finger has - or in your mouth. (ever tried it? really weird)
