Fish Loves Bling by taffy

Fish Loves Bling

@ukandie1 and I did an aquarium excursion which provided great practice for using cameras in poor lighting, with unpredictable subjects, and spaces crowded with little ones because it was Illinois residents fee-waiver day. Amazing we have any photos at all, but a terrific opportunity to practice panning and manual settings!
Noticed after posting, much better on black.
Nice to be back to color (or a variety of color/B&W). Thanks for your kind comments on my February calendar view!
What an unusual little fish. Its so sparkly, you'd think that it would draw the attention of predators.

Funny story

A super little fish with his blingy scales - great shot !

The bling is good but I love the background here.

Such a golden sparkly fish! Well done on getting a great shot in very difficult circumstances. I see now that you and Andie didn't pay the $40 entry fee! Sounds a very expensive place to visit! Fav!

What a cool, sparkly, fish!

The black really does enhance this indeed. Sounds like a challenging setting - you did well to even keep the camera out under the circumstances. Threre is some serious sparkle going on there.

Very sparkling :)

This is a fantastic shot for being in the circumstances you describe! I've never seen this pretty sparkly fish!

Great job! I find fish very difficult to photograph.
March 2nd, 2017  
Your shots of these fish came out much better than mine. Not surprisingly I posted in b&w today!
March 2nd, 2017  
Very cool indeed!

What an amazing fish. I wonder if he knows that he's covered in gold sequin dust?! Beautiful.

Amazing capture

What a lovely fish and great in low light!
March 2nd, 2017  
Nicely captured. Aquariums are not easy, especially when full of little ones.
March 2nd, 2017  
Wow, a gold-spangled fish. Goodness gracious me.
March 2nd, 2017  
Looks like it has been touched by gold dust. Lovely capture.
March 2nd, 2017  
He literally sparkles! And even more so on black.
March 2nd, 2017  
beautiful golden bling and fantastic red eye with black center
March 2nd, 2017  
Great fish shot.
March 2nd, 2017  
Like he got dressed for Oscar night! :) Very pretty, under very difficult shooting conditions. Looks like you guys had some fun, too.

Incredible picture.

Nice sparkles on this fish! Love your title! Definitely spectacular viewed on black.
March 2nd, 2017  
Cool shot, lighting

I can hear Shirley Bassey clad in a golden gown singing when I look at this......Hey, Big Spender! What a great little fish
March 2nd, 2017  
You got a really fine capture of this beautiful fish. Aquariums are very difficult to take shots of because of reflections on the glass.
March 2nd, 2017  
Stunning on black - fav!
March 2nd, 2017  
I can see that bling. Love it.
March 2nd, 2017  
love the sparkles and that eye!
March 2nd, 2017  
Cute shot. I think he sees you.
March 2nd, 2017  
Great capture
March 2nd, 2017  
Lots of sparkle capture.
March 2nd, 2017  
Aquariums are tricky to shoot in even without a "freebie" day full of other visitors. Nice sparklies- and a slow slide back into color.
March 2nd, 2017  
Very cool sparkles!
March 2nd, 2017  
Dazzling, baby!! Haha. :)
