Saturday saw us make a second trip to Baltimore in a week.
The focus of this journey was the National Aquarium. This was my first trip to the aquarium. I had visited one in North Carolina on a rainy day during a fishing trip.
We enjoyed the aquarium which was a family trip. There was one bad item about the trip. The place was packed as was the Inner Harbor.
The reason was that half of Boston was in town. The Red Sox was playing (no, make that sweeping) the Orioles. We saw a boat in the harbor flying a Boston flag. So they came by land and sea. I know that tourist are good for the local economy which was fine with me.
The aquarium is home to about 10,500 specimens, so I was looking forward to the trip. I am used to setting in a boat trying to get fish to bite. It was good to look at them eye to eye.
It's hard to shoot in the aquarium as the light changes from display to display. I love to shoot natural light and I knew flash and glass are not a good mix.
Some of the exhibits I couldn't get to see due to the crowd. But I was happy with the results of my shooting. I also know what to look for on a return trip.
It seems like the family liked the dolphin show and 4D movie. Both were good, but I think I liked the jellyfish best.
As I have said before, don't forget to take your camera.
