I took these photos on 6 September 2009 at the National Aquarium under the Commerce Department Building in Northwest Washington DC. I used my Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera. I initially used a Canon L-series 24-105mm short zoom but found that the low-light conditions mandated switching over to my Canon 50mm F1.4 prime lens. I developed the pictures primarily in Lightroom 2.3 with additional touch up work being done in Photoshop Elements 7.0. I used Topaz Adjust, Topaz Detail, and Topaz Simplify plug-ins to make some of the pictures look "painterly" in appearance. I used the Noiseware Standard stand-alone program to reduce the noise that was on the undeveloped pictures (I was shooting at very high ISOs).
great photos! nice video! *Suscribes*!
