Dustin, these were taken with a Canon 40D using a 24-70mm lens. All photos were handheld. Ended up not being enough time or space to shoot with the tripod.

NICE PICS

[Polkster13]

Hey Jennifer, please post some pictures of the Lighthouse and kayakers.

[sharkboy]

Those pics are awesome!!! Never seen anything like those...especially without a tripod!!! Simply amazing!!!!!!!!

[millerdog]

Jennifer, I was just showing my wife and we got to talking about cameras, just what kind do you have and what were you settings at. We went to the Aquarium last year and didn't get anything that looked close to these.

Amazing Pic's

MillerDog,
I use a Canon 40D and the fastest lens I have possible. In this case, my 24-70mm worked well. I have a faster lens (prime 28mm f/1.8) but the drawback is that it is a fixed lens. You can sometimes get away with using the lens hood against the glass vs. a tripod as was the case with the first 4 shots listed below.

JellyFish f/2.8 1/20 second ISO 1600
Shark f/2.8 1/50 second ISO 1600
Blenny f/5.0 1/8 second ISO 1000
Lobster f/5.0 1/6 second ISO 1000
Kids f/5.6 1/1000 second ISO 400
Turtle 1 f/5.6 1/1600 second ISO 400
Turtle 2 f/5.6 1/500 second ISO 400
Dolphins f/5.6 1/1000 second ISO 400

Is this a reef safe snail? I found a bunch when I was looking for pipefish.

[Mr Cob]

Not sure, I have never seen one like it...

[princer7]

Looks like a virgin nerite - reef safe

[addboy]

Yeah!! What He Said!! And YES!!,..Somebody should hire you....I used to work as a Layout artist for magazines and small publications and let me tell you...your Photos are better than a lot of Professional Freelance Photographers that I have worked with in the past (Including Texas Monthly). If you are interested in promoting yourself, give me a call...I can point you in the right direction....I can tell you that all of the pictures that I've seen could be sold as stock photography for a pretty decent price.

[michael_t]

Thanks Princer7, I have now added them to my tank. Some of my other snails went bizerk and thrashed the near death Nerites!

[princer7]

Ok, here are a few more....
