I was wondering how my photos taken in the darkness of the aquarium would render, and I must say that I am quite happy with them. A 400 iso film, a wide aperture, and staying still with a 1/30s pose was enough. It was not so easy to stay still because the Aquarium was crowded with people, especially with children running around, and even families with babies sleeping in strollers !

thank you @rolfmg ! the photos with the “calmest” animals are quite good, while with dolphins or penguins I got motion blur. The seal was gently still for the photo! 😉

Thought it was a Photoshop creation. You know your camera and film well.

Osaka

Country/Region: Japan

Osaka has long been known as Japan’s kitchen, a city every food lover should experience. But just as memorable as its flavors are the people – warm, witty, and endlessly welcoming. Their character flows through the markets, across the streets, and in the city’s everyday rhythm.
