If you get a chance check out the "Jellies" exhibit at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. I could watch them float around all day. Some of them look like ghostly apparitions and others resemble supernatural mushrooms lost in space. I was really excited about seeing and photographing the jellyfish. However, I didn't realize how difficult it would be to photograph a moving creature that has no bones, brain or heart and is made up mostly of water—there's not a lot to focus on!
The exhibit runs until May 28, 2012. You can see more of my jellyfish photos here.
