Serenity

I was downloading pictures from my digital camera a couple of days ago and this was one of the pictures. I took it at The Florida Aquarium last month. The room it was taken in is a small auditorium with a huge window wall with a giant coral reef fish tank on the other side. They do diving demonstrations and other shows in there. But the room itself is relatively dark, it's cool, and when I went in there I just felt so calm. I can understand why people like those fish tank screensavers- or even real fish tanks. I just wanted to sit down and watch the fish for a couple of days or so- not thinking, not planning, not stressing. Just sitting and watching the fish.
Plus the picture came out so well. I want to be a great photographer, now that I've switched to digital I'm learning to be a good photographer. And every once in awhile I take a photo that just leaves me saying, "wow! I can't believe I took that!" This was one of those photos. The only thing I don't like is the white spots in the photo, which I think were from other people taking pictures at the same time. If I get the chance I'm going to have to try to fix that. But it's not distracting enough for me to dislike the photo- still makes me go "wow", spots and all!
