Now these jellies turned out to be a little bit easier to photograph, primarily because they moved much slower than the others. Their tentacles look remarkably delicate. They remind me of microscopic hydra, almost. The transparency and the blurry ones in the background just add to the sensation that I’ve captured this through a microscope. In reality, they’re a little smaller than the palm of my hand.

These aquarium jellyfish are surprisingly difficult to photograph. The lighting conditions are very poor, and they move just quickly enough that a slow shutter speed fails to freeze the action. Even with a tripod, there’s motion blur in places. Out of a dozen shots, this is the one I was most happy with, although I got a couple of okay shots of another jelly species as well I will probably share with you tomorrow!
