You have some very cool shots in there. I can't believe that I haven't visted the Seattle aquarium for pictures yet. What time of day did you go? Was it busy?

 

[MarineTeng]

i went during the middle of the day since i'm still on summer vacation before school, at like 10ish i think, it was moderately busy but there was plenty of space and such to take pictures

Cool jellyfish

I tried to snap a few of those jelly fish when i was there,didn't quite turn out that way.

 

[MarineTeng]

ya, those were the best of many, i probably took at least 50 pictures, it's hard with curved glass, i think the best pictures turned out when i kneeled and took them at about a 45 degree angle from inside the ring towards one of the lights, since it was pretty dark in there too
