Location
I took this photo at the NC Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores. I am a mostly self taught photographer, but have begun training via the New York Institute of Photography.Time
This was taken in the afternoon indoors.Lighting
The light provided in the display tank was beautiful, and I made sure to take the flash function off my camera.Equipment
This picture I captured with my phone camera set to HDR. I rarely use my phone for pictures, but my husband and son were walking in another direction.Inspiration
I was raised in West Texas. There's not a jellyfish in sight. My husband is retiring from the Marine Corps this month, and we had been living in NC, but were moving back to Texas. If you've ever been stung by a jellyfish you know it can be a painful experience! These floating beauties remember reminded me there's beauty in all of creation.Editing
I did not edit this picture, minus cropping.In my camera bag
I almost always can be found to have my Nikon D3200, with the 55mm lense. I keep with my bag a 55-200mm lense, and extra batteries.Feedback
In an indoor environment, when photographing through glass, understand the lighting and glare are going to need to be considered. Try a few different angles, not only straight on. Your flash may need to be disabled, to prevent a reflective glare.
