Alicia Dorset, Dave Coustan and I took the afteroon and played a bit of hooky to visit the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coke in Atlanta. This was my first visit to the Georgia Aquarium since I wrote about their Flickr group. Aquariums are one of my favorite locations to take pictures, plenty of interesting subjects and plenty of contrasts. I love shots like this one below. I recently created a silhouettes group in Flickr to gather all my contrast shots.
At the aquarium it's hard to tell who is on display, the fish or the people. This fish is clearly mugging for the camera.
The scale of the main viewing room at the Ocean Voyage exhibit is hard to comprehend till you're there. This shot makes me think these people are stading in front of an IMAX movie screen.
And please folks, if the sign says no touching, don't touch. Complete set from this recent visit, shots from January 2007.
Visitor Comments
Great shots, Josh. I gotta visit that place the next time I'm in Atlanta.

Beautiful first picture you have there. The sheer amount of jelly fish is what makes it so amazing.
