Vancouver Aquarium Pics

[Diana]

Hey guys, just thought i would share some pictures i took at the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Center.

The cam was my Nikon D70 with 18-70 mm lens. I didnt have a tripod to use so it was hard getting really clear shots. It helped in the marine tanks that there was lots of light, but in some of the shots i had to use flash (you can tell which ones). By far the hardest thing to take pictures of was the jellyfish :-x

So here we go

Surgeonfish

Ray with glowing eyes :mrgreen:

Picasso triggerfish (Raf has one in his 30 gallon, oops!)

Orchid dottyback

Lionfish

Bannerfish

Rockfish?

Lawnmower Blenny.... taking a break

Some corals :mrgreen:

Pink Polyps? (coldwater!)

Blue Mushrooms

What is this? Its part of a hugmungo clam!

Green Anenomes

And last but not least.... jellyfish

Hope you enjoyed!

Cool beans!!! Nice shots. I really thought your jellyfish should have made the finals and WON!! That is a wonderful shot. Would like to see it about 4' large. :-D

Hope to see your work in this months contest also.

Cheers

Great pics baby...it's a shame the jellies did not make it to the finals, they should have IMO.

So when is the next trip gonna be?
