Excellent!

Is this a straight, unmodified, daylight shot?  If not, how did you do it?

Very nice, on another note, does anyone else wish there was a  peanut 
butter fish when looking at this, or is it just me...

Re: PESO: Jellyfish

[Daniel J. Matyola]

It's not exactly a daylight shot.  It was taken in the Maui Ocean
Center, The Aqaurium of Hawai'i.  The Sea Jelly Gallery is in a
darkened room.  It is a  stunning floor-to-ceiling cylinder, lit with
blue light.  It is the aquarium's most soothing exhibit, and one I
always find hypnotic. You can get an idea of the exhibit in the fourth
video here:

http://www.mauioceancenter.com/index.php?id=12ss=0page=gallerycontent=gallery

I have tried to photograph this exhibit many times during five visits
over the past 10 years, mostly with poor results.  The glass of the
cylindrical tank and the lighting make things tricky. The glass is
often covered with visible hand prints from young visitors.   Flash
is, of course, out of the question.  Mostly, I used manual focus,
because the AF would usually pick out the surface of the glass, rather
than the fish I was trying to capture.  The image data on this shot,
however, indicates it was taken on auto focus, 800 ISO, 0.1 sec, and
f4.5.  I had no tripod or monopod, so I leaned against the wall,
bracing my elbows against the wall and my side to steady the camera.
It was not totally successful, but then sharpness isn't always
everything.G

In any event, this is my favorite of all the many shots I have
attempted at the sea jelly tank.  I like it because it reminds me of a
very special place and it has an abstract zen-like quality than makes
me feel peaceful.

Re: PESO: Jellyfish

I just had a flashback to summer swimming lessons when I was a kid.

We often had to swim through schools/clouds/moulds of jellyfish like that.
