WOW!! Nice job! How did you take this one? Dolphins are my favorite & I hope to swim with them this summer on our trip!! #7187549Christie R. Bielss February 21, 2009
Thank you all so very much! This was taken in the underwater viewing area. I cleaned a spot on the glass and then put my lens up against it to take the photo. It worked really well at eliminating the glare and capturing the colors of their environment. A friend took a throw-away underwater camera and stuck their arm in the water and caught some good shots that way too. The smell of fish on them afterwards may not have been worth that effort though! #7190661Karen Kessler February 21, 2009
