Jellyfish


Floating, waving, drifting, glowing... I took this photograph at the Pittsburgh Zoo during a weekend outing. While we were wandering about, these glowing feathery globs of jelly drifting under the UV illumination somehow caught my eye, and kept me occupied for many minutes with my lense pressed against the glass (much to the dismay of others trying to look). There was not much light, so I tried to hold the camera as still as possible. The image is still a bit blurry (due to the movement of the jellyfish of course, and the glass, not my steady hand...), but I like how it captures the movement, and the colors are very cool.
