Learning in Schools

May 27, 2006

I joined Matt, Tom, and Jeremy (the four of us make up the four stooges) at the Georgia Aquarium yesterday. It was my first visit, and I must say I was a bit underwhelmed. I think I would enjoy it more with only a single other person or simply alone, since then I'd be able to just stand and stare for long periods of time, especially in the large viewing room (where this photo was taken). With the group I was constantly devoting a bit of mental energy to keeping up with the other three people, but I wouldn't have had it any other way for my first trip.

I got a bunch of photos and will probably end up keeping around 50, but many suffer from motion blur and/or noise issues since I was at 800 or 1600 ISO for most of the time. The "glass" that separates us from the water also adds a bit of chromatic aberration if the camera isn't pointing straight ahead. All things considered, though, I think the photos came out better than I expected.
