60W Jellyfish

[Chris Dodkin]

Spotted these creatures swimming in a hotel lobby this morning...

Canon 5D2 and 50mm 1.2

Looks like they're rising to the surface Chris. Very nice.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Brian, thought it was worth a chuckle.

 

[Pete Askew]

You were lucky you didn't fall into them. They can give a very nasty sting!!

Excellent idea Chris. Shot wide open?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Pete - thanks - think I was on f1.4, will have to check the original file

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Well, very original, I've never tried lying on my back to take a shot before! lol
What a great observation that is chris. Having fun with your new toy?! Lol

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Having fun with your new toy?! Lol

Can you tell!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Not at all chris, I erm.... Nope... Can't tell. Lol

 

[Hamish Gill]

Interesting shot mate!
Did you flip it after you got it on the computer or was it your intention from the start?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

It occurred to me as I was looking up at them - they just looked so much like jellyfish

I didn't lie down though - it was a hotel lobby after all!

Took the shot the right way up, and flipped it after - took a couple of variations to get the inverted comp right

Was half tempted to PS out the fixture where they attach to the ceiling...

I love this Chris and that 1.2 is an awesome piece of hardware even at 1.4 it's good, damned good
