the Great White files |
Thanks to a quick visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on September 18, 2004, I finally have my very own picture of a live Great White taken at virtually no risk to yours truly. I also discovered how difficult it is to take pictures of moving fish in very low light. The flash shows every imperfection on the 11" thick acrylic window of the Outer Bay exhibit, and also reflects badly off the surface.
