Those are good shots, I especially like the one with the whale shark.

Well done, I wasted hundreds of shots in La Rochelle Aquarium, mostly blurred, out of focus, badly distorted by the glass etc. They looked OK on the LCD too :oops:

This was the about the best (a crop) and it was lit by someone's point and shoot LED.

First of all I apologise for hijacking the thread - I wanted to praise the original poster's work as I now know from bitter experience how difficult it can be to get good aquarium shots. My example posted was unique amongst all of my shots as it was actually in focus and not motion blurred, only because the poor Octopus was frozen with fright by the red LED being aimed at him by a point and shoot camera.

David, did you receive my email with 3 photos from La Rochelle? - I sent them to you on Thu evening.

I have found that it is a Lookdown fish (Selene vomer).
Apparently they are good to eat!
