I was in the SF area for the dgrin party, and had the absolute pleasure of having aktse (April) act as my tour guide and advisor. I also had the absolute pleasure of the company of Phyxius and Fourleggedphoto for the 4 days I was in town, as well as so many other great dgrinners. It was heaven.
However, I thought at the time that I was way off photographically and I am still not sure; but, I think I hit the jackpot on Sunday when we went to the aquarium.

Jelly fish are sooooo ephemeral and beautiful!!!

Hey there Ann, the Monteray Jellies are a sight to behold.
You really have to see them for yourself to take in their graceful movements as they move around the tank hu :D

April took me there too, I loved it, I'd never seen so many varieties of Jelly Fish in my life as is on display at the Monteray Aquarium.

You got some great shots Ann :clap .... Skippy :D

Beautiful Ann, you got some very nice light.

Yeah, thats pretty amazing - light is from within the display. These shots are ISO 1600, f2.0 or 1.8, and a fairly slow shutter.
Thanks Dee, sorry I missed saying hi face to face at the party.
