This was from the photowalk Andie @ukandie1 and I did at the aquarium last week. Andie's was clear and sharp without any of the little dots of light that I couldn't get rid of (I think from the high ISO I was using), so I wasn't going to post mine -- until I figured out a new title! So, please don't think of the spots as horrible noise in the image, but rather part of a delightful starry night.
Thank you for your wonderful comments and favs on the NYC series with Michael and Junko. I have a few more to post from there but thought it fun to go back to the 'sea.'
Here's Andie's: https://365project.org/ukandie1/chicago-through/2017-03-04
@leonbuys83 I think it is reflected light, if not the noise from the high ISO. @pamknowler I did take it into PS! You can't imagine how much I had to clone out...so basically, I just got tired of doing it and gave up! Then, I thought of stars....
Love the title! I don't think the little dots are noise, I think they are bubbles in the tank, and the light is reflecting on them or off of them. I had a ton of shots like this, the ones that had very little of them were shots I took from the left hand side of the tank (I think)!
I love the dots, makes me think of stars. But the water in most aquariums isn't all that clear, so I find it realistic. Those jellyfish - wow! Must be what inspired Chihuly to create some of his art!
Jellyfish are so beautiful under colored lights! Nicely captured! I like the little dots of light. On black it looks like a terrestrial jellyfish! FAV!
These colors are awesome - never occurred to me to think that was noise - thinking bubbles of air in the water - but whatever, it works perfectly with your title!
The white spots barely show, Taffy, and I wouldn't have noticed them if you hadn't pointed them out. Amazing low light capture and colours of the jelly fish. I have to say that I hate them. Sometimes they spoil our swimming when they turn up near our shores.
Your comment on my Donkey picture is a treasured one. Thanks, Taffy.
