Can you guess what it is?

Flounder

50mm lens, shutter speed 1/90, f/2.0, no flash, iso 1600.

The flounder is definitely one of the funnier fish in the sea. They are great at camouflage though. The aquarium has a great tank that is flat with only sand in it and challenges visitors to find all 9 flounder in it. I only found 6 when I was there!

Jellies!

One of my favorite things to photograph when I go to the aquarium is the jellyfish. They are so graceful. Sitting in front of their display is very calming to me. Aquariums normally do a really great job with their displays with the lighting and backgrounds making photographing them even more fun and interesting. Normally it is quiet dark so a long exposure is needed which gives their tentacles a ghostly appearance with the blur. It's great!
