Blue Reef Aquarium with the nifty fifty.

T0MAT01 · 03-01-2007, 10:32 PM

Since buying the nifty fifty f/1.8 a couple of months ago I hadn't taken more than about 100 shots with it. That was until I visited the Blue Reef aquarium in Portsmouth over the Christmas holidays...

Here's a few of my favorites, all taken at f/1.8 ISO 200.
C&C welcome.

i love visiting aquariums, and fuzed your tank looks great!
I went to colchester zoo over the holidays instead of this place as my gf wanted to test out the tomtom i got her. The zoo was great but... i wish id gone here! great pics here mate, cant help feeling that a smaller aperture would have helped on some shots but i know movement and handshake is a big factor

I do love aquariums... not been to a decent one in the UK... so will have to give this one a try...

Thanks for the compliment on the tank... its taken alot of CASH and time... but I do love it...

This one was good, but if you're ever down that way then Plymouth Aquarium is really worth a visit.

Ush: yeah more depth of field would have been nice but the light just wasn't there. I could have upped the Iso but noisey fish shots don't really do it for me!

i know what you mean! many hours were spent in london aquarium with a 20d when its not busy trying to get decent shots.... they just wont keep still for ya!

Nice pics, i love aquariums as well but havent been to one in a very long time. Ush flynn, how do you like your tomtom? what version do you have? I think the ONE looks pretty cool, but havent gotten one yet, just have played with my friend's ONE.

Nice pics.

Love aquariums but don't have the time to look after them so I keep admiring other peoples!

Last time I went to Portsmouth it was with the Fuji 602 a few years ago: not a patch on these images. There is another one like this in Bournemouth Im not sure how they compare

Some stunning shots there - I think I need to visit one of these sometime soon. Some of the colours are fantastic.

Nice pictures. Next step is to get in the water with them.
