my favorite might be watching the otters, they are fun to watch. they seem to like to perform for people. the outer bay tank has some awesome fish in it , large tun and an ocean sunfish, did you ever see one ?
heard they can get up to a 5,000 lbs. check out the last link with the info about half way down the page.they look like a dinosaur with fins. the only thing about the time we were there is that we missed the great white by two or three weeks. that aquarium kicks a**.

The otters always seem to be performing. IIRC, they often go insane from doing the same thing over and over and over, every day.

I have seen pics of ocean sunfish, and I believe I saw one at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport last month. Strange looking fish for sure. I did have the privilege of walking through the shark tank (there's a glass tunnel going directly through the tank), so I was able to see various sharks up close from every angle...very cool.

Yes they are cool, never knew there were so many kinds of them. my favs are the ones that light up and change colors. they remind me of the creatures in the movie the Abyss

Here are a few more jellies and luminescent critters.

Wow...some unreal shots - - I went to the website with the sunfish I bet I looked at those pages for 30 minutes, it is unreal some of the things I dont even know exist! Crazy to think about such creatures in the ocean!

Here are a few pictures I just snapped....No fantastic photography, and pardon the funny exposure on some of them. Still trying to figure out the in's and out's of photography.

-All pictures taken with the Canon A620

Well, I don't post much on Autopia, mostly just read the forums, but since I love photography this thread sparked my interest. Here are my photos!

Oh...and of course, the Meguiars Shine

Awesome pics with the Mini!

01bluecls · 09-18-06, 06:24

Oh and future reference for posts here...Can people please post what camera/lens and possibly settings they used for these beautiful photos?

Not sure why you do not feel these pics are not the nice. you must do me a favor please. if you can get me a good shot in the next couple of weeks of the trees around peak with a reflection on the pond. that is one of my favorite all times picture. not sure what it is about that compostion but when done right it is breathtaking. keep them coming guys. we may have to branch out into " photoupia" ? lol

sorry guys but I have been on my PC an it appears I still have a few hundred left

the first one is the Bay bridge tunnel in VA. after you go through it you stop and watch the big ships pass over the tunnel you were just in

if you look close you can see a guy in a rowboat out in the bay

Sorry I am in Pa. was down in that area to visit a relative this summer. I remember when there was only one bridge going across the bay. nice to see the second one for sure. been over it a bunch of times but it still amazes me how they did it. saw a show on tv that said the second bridge had a variation of only like 2inches along the whole span, that is simply amazing. not familar with Ashburn. how far from Va Beach is it ? some nice views down your way, the fising is pretty dang good also
