We went to the aquarium and to Asilomar beach. Jellies are wonderful subjects, moving against an unseen but hinted current, always downward for some reason, dancing. <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2006/01/25/_L3U8535.jpg> <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2006/01/25/_L3U8537.jpg> We were at the beach at a very low tide. The slope of the beach was hardly noticeable so there was a sheen of water over the surface of the sand. Coupled with the mostly cloudy day with a hint of blue sky: <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2006/01/25/_L3U8789.jpg> <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2006/01/25/_L3U8793.jpg> <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2006/01/25/_L3U8796.jpg> Upon the beach a single strand of seaweed, washed up from the tidal pools, curled on the sand: <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2006/01/25/_L3U8802.jpg> Technical stuff: The Jellies were shot with the Canon f1.4 lens @ 3200 ISO The beach with the 70-200 f2.8L The strand of seaweed with the zoom as well. Later some birds and shots with the 100 APO. Comments welcome - and thank you to the group for accepting these not-even-Leicanon images. Adam
