More beauties of the sea.
Well done with these Mike.
Love the soft details in #1 - what magnificent creatures they are.

Thanks everyone! I was amazed with the ISO 1600 performance myself. Just a note, I performed ZERO noise reduction on any of these. Sorry it took a bit to get them posted. I had wedding photos (the initial reason for the trip) and spent a fair bit sorting thru and posting the Biltmore, Blue Ridge Parkway and Waterfall photos.

These Jellies are definately a challenge to shoot and I plan on a trip to the Baltimore Aquarium to practice some more!

These are georgeous shots Mike. You seem to be really having fun with your photography and finding really interesting things to photograph.

hey let me know when you're planning to go. i went there several weeks ago to the jellies invasion exhibit and tried shooting them. i failed miserably i think and would love to try again.

Will do Mel... Next weekend is AMA Pro Motocross at Budds Creek on Saturday and the DC Criterium Bicycle race on Sunday. The foollowing weekend is MotoGP racing at Summit Point. Then my dad is visiting for 3 weeks. Looks like it'll be the end of Sep before I can get up there. hopefully the Jelly exhibit will still be going on.
