The Dancing Jellyfish

by Jaxon S on November 7, 2007

in Fish and Aqua Macro

Location: Underwater World, Sentosa Island, Singapore. Here’s what makes this shot difficult to take:

  • The jelly fish would not stop dancing, making it difficult to freeze their movement.
  • They were inside an aquarium so if I use flashlight to freeze their movement, the light would bounce off the aquarium glass.
  • The lights inside the aquarium was not enough to capture the subject with fast shutter speed.

So what did I do? I increase the ISO from 50 to 100, set the camera to P for programme, and set my heart also to P for prayer.

    ettey, they won’t stop dancing..

    amos, maybe i should do that.. but they are actually dancing upside down because they are going (diving) after the light at the bottom left of the aquarium…
