We had the chance to head out to the Vancouver Aquarium yesterday. The forecast was for sunshine but unfortunately that didn’t come to pass. We ended up with a high overcast layer of cloud. Still, we think we managed to get some nice shots.

Here are the shots that I think are the better ones in the lot.

By the way, that little Monkey is a BUGGER to photograph! I’ve tried 3 times now and I’m still not 100% satisfied with the shots I’m getting. He’s in a dimly lit cage, and won’t stop fidgeting! Oh well, one day I’ll beat the little bugger!

Ya, so I was just tooling around one day… thinking about what it would take to capture decent shots of fish in my aquarium.

Needless to say, with low light levels it poses a challenge. I’d tried with f2.8 lenses but still found light lacking. Soooo…. decided to break out the manual focus Pentax A 50mm f1.7.

Managed to come up with this… my favourite being the first one.

It’s amazing what f1.7, shake reduction and little luck with manual focusing can achieve!
