Visited the Shedd again with some family that was in town. Got some time to play with my new T1i and really explore it's potential in low light. Lovin it.

Few for now, will probably process a few more tonight.

Haha yea it was about time. For a while it was never an issue, but recently my photography has been more demanding of my hardware.

That Sea Dragon shot is one I've been trying to get for a long time. I've tried to shoot it every time I've been to the Shedd, and this is the best result I've ever gotten. The curvature of that cylindrical tank combined with extremely low light and trying to position something you can't influence makes it a nice challenge.
