A couple of captives

pecuniumOne of the things I failed to do while I was stationed at DLI (learning Russsian) was to visit the aquarium. It was so close, and there was going to be time, and... the time ran out and it stopped being so close. I wish, having seen it now, that I had memories to compare.
But I do have some photos (though the light was poor that day; so the fish shots are, at best, sort of flabby).
The first was, mostly, easy. The shutter speeds are a bit slow, and a tripod would have helped, but one makes do.
Three Musketeers
The second was, as with so many interesting shots, a matter of happenstance (no, that's not a good setup, luck favors the prepared mind. I was having damn all luck closer to the tank, and tried it a bit further back. Twenty years ago, I probably wouldn't have made the attempt). The happenstance is how the hand and the eye are in just the right place.
I really like the sense of interaction.
Different Worlds
There are a few more up, and more to come. Perhaps I will, in the class break, make some time to get caught up.

Your photographs are really well done. I'm surprised you caught the octopus with such good lighting. All my photos of octopi are dark.
