More from the aquarium

There is only one pic of N...he slept most of the time. But, check him out-the littlest scubadiver.

Here's looking at you kid.

My MIL trying to get a sting rays attention.

Taking a little break.

Watching this really fun otter doing backflips, over and over again.

I thought this was funny...check out my BIL on the cell phone.

"HIIIIIII fish!"

Getting excited after being afraid initially.

Even dad gets the wonder of under the sea.

Totally enthrawled.

Looking at a yellow fish. A is learning the color yellow right now.

Another dad getting into the mood.

Awe and wonder!


For those that wanted some aquarium tips...here's what I found out. Make sure the glass you're by does not have a zillion fingerprints. i carry baby wipes with me and used a few of them, but I was also lucky the Denver one was pretty clean and fingerprint free. I have been blessed with a steady hand, but I did find that I had to really be steady, especially since I had shutter speeds that were right on that cut off of being blurry from camera shake. I bumped up my ISO pretty high, but my camera handles noise rather well thankfully. If I could do it again, I would really pay attention to the position of the fish and creatures when taking shots, especially where people are involved. Some really cool oppurtunities to get some awesome shots if you have the patience. I would take your fastest lens, wish I had in hindsight. Hope that helps someone out there in blogger land.
