Jellies at the Monterey Bay Aquarium

Last month, for my wife's birthday, we took a day trip to Monterey to visit the aquarium. We hadn't been there in about ten years. My favorites are the jellies. They are hard to photograph, and required wide-open / high ISO / slow shutter speed shooting. Most of these were taken at f/3.5, ISO 800, and no faster than 1/30 s.

Olympus E-1 & 14-54 mm f/2.8-3.5 zoom.

Great shots, Fred. I like them all. Isn't that place great!
I haven't been there for a few years myself.
It's about time for a trip up the coast.

Thanks all. The jellies are my favorite thing to shoot over there, but it's not easy. I have a lot of near misses I won't subject y'all to. Next time I'll bring a monopod or tripod.
