Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific Jellyfish



We had a visit to the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific a couple of weeks ago with some friends. Aquariums brings a unique lighting challenge as you get some very dimly lit areas with some fast moving wildlife. This is where the Nikon D700 just shines. It has such amazing low light capabilities combine with incredible accurate fast focusing that makes some pictures possible as with the jellyfish above. I used the 50mm 1.4D prime the entire time.
