W hile we were on our cross-country Amtrak journey to Ohio, Lukey and Kenzie were using a couple of my cameras. They each had two lenses to use with their camera... a wide zoom and a telephoto zoom. At the aquarium, they were using the wide zoom lens with wide open apertures on each of their cameras. Considering that both of the cameras that Lukey and Kenzie were using are about ten years old, they both did a great job in this very dark aquarium. Aquariums are very low light which typically would lengthen your exposure time and what makes this even more difficult is the fish are always in motion which requires a shorter exposure time to freeze the motion in order to capture sharp images. So, you need a longer exposure for the darkened aquarium but you need shorter exposures to freeze the darting fish. Also, you need to time your shot so your subject is in some sort of light.
