Diaphanous

Another jellyfish, a moon jellyfish this time. Delicate and ghostlike, I wasn't sure I could pick it up properly on film (well, digital capture but you know what I mean) but I did. Had to wait to isolate this one but it was time well spent.

The Invasion Continues

Didn't, or rather couldn't, get all of this guy in the frame, his tentacles must have been 6 feet in length. Go I got the interesting bits. These type of jellyfish were dead easy to photograph as they were moving quite slowly.

Invasion

The Baltimore Aquarium has an exhibit on the invasion of jellyfish. They had several different kinds on display, from small and fast, to large and slow moving. This little guy was zipping right along and coupled with a nutrient-rich tank, was tough to catch. Not quite fully in focus, but I'm happy enough with it.
