Jellyfish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium

Just for Fun  Posted by / 0 comments

Founded in 1984, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is comfortably nestled at the end of cannery row in Monterey Bay, California. The aquarium, and its exhibits are widely popular, and have an annual attendance of 1.8 million visitors. With over 600 different species of sea life, it’s one of the most ecologically diverse aquariums in the world. It’s also set apart from other aquariums due to its ocean water pumping system, which essentially connects all of its exhibits to the ocean directly. The water is filtered for clarity during the day but at night, plankton and other naturally occurring minerals are let through, allowing the sea life to receive the same nutrients as they would in the wild.

My son has an affinity for the camera. Will he be a future photographer? If I have anything to say about it, yes. I’ve got a camera ready for him as soon as he’s old enough.

Connected by a footbridge to the suburb of La Perouse, the historic military fort and tunnels on this island can only be visited by guided tour.

Playtime with Bryce

If it was up to me, I’d stick with candid shots over posed portraits. A candid shot captures the energy and the ambiance in the room better than any posed photo ever could. Take Bryce, for example. Have you ever tried getting a six month old to pose? It’s right up there with pulling teeth. He’s a baby – he won’t stop moving and, when he does, it’s probably because he’s got gas. Those times don’t typically make for an appealing photo.

Sometimes, you can prep all you want to get the perfect photo. You can easily spend an hour checking your equipment – your focal length, your aperture, your ISO, your flash settings…

And sometimes, all you need to do is grab your camera, run to the front door, and capture a moment, a million years in the making. Mother Earth is often your best subject.
