I know the lighting isn't very good therre, but these shots are so clear. 

Smashing set.

Nice work Paul.  I usually get the focus on the grubby finger print on the glass.

I love shots like this and take hundreds every time I go to a saline centre - these are great.

A great set, Paul - it's number two that works best for me, I just love the wispy bits (that's as technical as I can get) on the jellyfish.

What a fabulous set Paul ... For a moment I thought they were archived pics you had taken maybe with an underwater camera and you were tweaking them .  But .. Through the glass art Sea world ...  They are outstanding ..so nice to see you are getting out and about so regularly  too .. Hats off to you  Sunshine .

WOW! .... Indeed Paul,

These are some of the best shots you have posted on here....you have worked wonders considering you were shooting through around half inch of armor plated glass, never mind the water.......you must have had your lens pressed right into the glass?    Inspiring!

Thank you Tina.

Thank you Kev a lot of luck involved especially with my eyesight but the trick is to get as close to the glass as possible within the minimum focusing distance so the lens has to focus beyond the glasss. Also a good fast prime lens works wonders the 12mm was pressed against the glass and the rest was left to the fantasic auto focus on the panny. Belive it r not the penguine ones were took with the 75mm and the glass was covered in water drops.

Thank you BP,Colin,James,Korky and Fuji.

Thanks for this tip Paul. I think there is my answer, I was well away from the glass. I did get some good jellyfish shots mind you.

Just catching up - fantastic set Paul. the jellyfish one looks almost 'alien', and love the strong colour of the yellow fish. You did really well with these, as already commented on conditions and the glass can be difficult, but these are lovely.
