Artist's Comments

Today I piked up my camera and went out again.

I went to the "Oceanario" in Lisbon. This place was build in 1998 and it´s an enormous aquarium filled with all kinds of sea creatures.

They didn´t let me use the in camera flash so I had to use ISO 1600 and slow shutter speeds.
No tripod either.
It´s in fact the first time I said "I need a better camera".
All this time the 350D did the job, but for this kind of work, the quality is simply totaly lost, so don´t hit me in the head too much with that ;)

Wanted to catch a family showing their kids how beautiful sea life is, and capture the joy of their children (hand in the glass).

You can easily see by the size of the family and the big glass that this place is huge and really beautiful.

sentado na parte mais triste do meu corpo noite dentro
a boca a encher-se-me de ossos - até que irrompa a manhã
e os tiros recomecem.

Nao levar o tripé também nao ajudou muito...

Mas sempre deu para registar algo de interessante que Tugalandia tem para oferecer!

*Orgulho*

Fotografar no Oceanário é muito complicado, mas acho que te safaste bem:)
E a 10mm sempre dá uma ajudinha ;)

clean shot, no reflections and pretty well contrasted considering the thick glass.

but not your usual standard imo.

Great shot
Beautiful angle :)
:iconmilanogreg:
Very nice. Not easy lighting to work in; especially with the fish moving.
:iconrykardo:
Como eu te entendo, same problem here :)

Mas como tenho dito, o panorama português não permite top gamas!

Tenho também de ir aí um dia destes, ainda não tive oportunidade de ir ao oceanário.

Ela é velhinha mas para o tipo de fotografia que faço tem servido, mas ao procurar um ISO mais elevado, a qualidade vai toda ao ar...

Mas continuo contente com ela, vai dando para o gasto, se o meu ganha pão fosse através da fotografia aí sim seria obrigado a comprar novo equipamento, mas como é um hobby e nem costumo fazer impressões acima do A4, a velhota aguenta-se.
