Description jellyfish at the San Francisco Aquarium


mary

***

with classical music playing and darkness all around - this was some of the most soothing viewing I've ever done - they are like ballet - i had never seen any this color (zero color play, saturation, hue change, etc in this) - and their tentacles that are white were/are ruffled! you can see reflections of the tank of clear jellies behind them and specks of light from the area - mother nature is so amazing

one layer blend at soft light, mid opacity - nothing else

here is another shot of another set of jellies behind these

I find it hard to believe this is a photo... it looks painted or something because of those colors!

yes - the bits of orange in the gold - that whole opposites on the color wheel thing - always a good combination

This is fantastic! I agree with *vespera , it's like a painting. I guess it's life imitating art.

they are so soothing to watch - in the dark with classical music - it truly was like watching ballet!

if i was insanely wealthy i'd have a tank large enough just for these - seriously the most relaxing thing i've experienced in a long time to watch them!

I saw Seven Pounds, and Will Smith had one, and I was like, "Must have jellyfish"
xD too bad it killed them. D:

Oh don't worry- these are commonly known as black sea nettles, and are not deadly. Their sting really hurts, but will not kill you. Only cube jellyfish/box jellyfish can kill, and they're in a group of their own.

Oh, ok. XD I love 'em, but don't have much knowledge of them.
thanks for the info.!
