Hello Shel, Just got back from there on Saturday. I can tell you two things not to do. 1) Don't go with the kids - mine were constantly wanting to move on. 2) Don't go when the aquarium is jam packed (like Saturday). The crowds make it difficult to shoot.
So for me not really being prepared to shoot, here is probably the best shot I managed. I only had the DA 16-45/4 lens with me, so speed was an issue. Pentax *istD, DA 16-45/4, Handheld ISO 1600, 1/60 sec @ f/4.0, 45mm http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_2912.htm You'll notice I was shooting ISO 1600 wide open and only getting 1/60 sec. It is fairly dim and this particular tank is probably the best lit. So fast glass would be helpful. Also the focal length range I shot was between about 18mm and 45mm, so an 18, 24 and 50 would about cover you. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 10:53:24 PM, you wrote: SB> I'm going to try to take some time off and head down to the Monterey Bay SB> Aquarium for some R n R.
