Marine life

On the weekend I took a trip to the aquarium to try and get some marine life macro photography:

This lobster had lovely patterns and i like the way his feeler thing is coming forwards to make it look more 3D

This jellyfish had amazing colours, i love how floaty and light it looks.

I love the detail in this jellyfish. The composition workks really well with the big one in the fore ground and the other floating around in the distance.

Here i captured him side on so you can see all his drifting tentacles

This enenimy looked cool, poofing of the side of some drift wood.

This crab has great texture, I used shallow depth of field so that the focus was on his first claw and the line of spikes above it.

The lighting on this octopus worked really well, highlighting his tentacle against the dark water

These glowing enenimies look amazing against the black background. and they have so much detail :o

looking at animalssssssss

Animals have so many different colours and textures, perfect for interesting macro photography! Here I tried looking at normal household pets:

This sleepy cat made a lovely picture!

I thought this picture of my rabbit looked effective in black and white

I liked the way my friends frog was sat half in the water with his head peeping out. I took it at an angle to make it look a bit more interesting so that the frog is actually horisontal and the water is the wrong way.

For this cat I wanted the focus on his cute little white socks

This one took a while as the dog kept trying to lick the camera haha

Ok, not really a pet but I found this cute little beetle in my garden and i thought he looked sweet sat on the end of my finger :)
