Jellyfish Are Photogenic (who knew?)

by Stacy B on December 29, 2009

Michael Zhang (@petapixel) runs a wonderful photography blog geared towards digital photographers called PetaPixel. A few days ago, he tweeted a link to a post on COLOURlovers entitled, “Color In Nature: Surprisingly Colorful Jellyfish” which showcased some absolutely stunning photographs of jellyfish. After viewing all of the jellyfish photos featured in the post, I was reminded of some of the photos I took of these beautiful (and dangerous) subjects at the Ripley Aquarium of the Smokies in downtown Gatlinburg. I must compliment the aquarium because they did a great job of showing off the natural beauty of these not-so-friendly creatures. The lighting and color of the tank they lived in made the jellyfish downright photogenic. Here are my photos from the Aquarium of the Smokies. Enjoy!
