Clear eye, at rest. Big octopus near the Kelp Forest tank. P4181495
A very steady gaze. There are two of these animals in side by side enclosures. Normally they are very hard to see but fortune smiled and both were very EASY to see this trip. Did they smell other cephalopods in the water system?
This and most of these aquarium photos was shot with my OM-1's 50mm F/1.2, mounted in the EP-2. A very fast lens. Manual focus and aperture operation, automatic exposure via iso and 'shutter' speed by the camera body. The EP-2 manual says it has image stabilization / vibration reduction features in the body, but whether this means they move the sensor on a pixel scale to track the image or mathematically combine multiple, shorter captures that they translate up-down/left-right before overlaying, I don't know. VERY high technology in a modern camera.
I shoot a LOT of images when I have the chance, some are pretty bad, some are delightfully good. It makes me happy.
