It had been almost 10 years since we visited the Oregon Coast Aquarium last and I was aching to go when we visited the beach the other weekend. It isn't on the cheap side but it was a perfect activity for a rainy day. Part of the aquarium is outdoors but there is still plenty to look at inside. The outdoor creatures, like the otters, were not out and about that day anyways. I love all the colors and that you can even touch some of it, like the sea anemones.

It was a bit of challenge taking photos through the thick aquarium glass but I am happy with the ones I was able to shoot. It was a great way for me to learn my new camera as I had to change the shutter speeds and other settings to catch those quick fishies!
Shark! There was also jellyfish but they deserve their own post because I made a little video of them too.
P.S. The winner of the custom drawing is Erica, congrats!
I will be emailing you soon!

Wow this makes me wanna visit the zoo so bad!!
wow, these photos are amazing. you're picking up your new camera much faster than i did. i cannot wait for the jellyfish post.
Aaaw! These pictures are AWESOME! Seriously, these are National Geographic worthy. Keep it up.
Just discovered your blog while looking for a new hairstyle. Your photos are really great; you're very talented at photography. Jealous!
ah I haven't been to that aquarium yet since I moved up here. It looks like a good one! definitely on my mini road trip list! Great pics, I know it's hard to catch 'em when they're swimming by!
So many interesting things my eyes had no idea where to look first! <3
These photos are incredible! I didn't know it was even possible to take such lovely aquarium photos. I love aquariums - I could sit and watch fish for hours!
p.s. I can't wait to see the jellyfish video. Do you know the marine life films of Jean Painlevé (shot in 30s)?
The closest aquarium we have is the one in Boston and it's awesome :) It looks like you had fun!
I'm very excited about winning your giveaway! I can't wait to see my portrait :)
I miss the Newport Aquarium so bad...I can't wait to take my kids there this summer when we come back for a visit...looks like they added a few things since I lived in that area.
I think so to. I don't remember it being so colorful!
Me too! I got your questionnaire answers :)
I don't but it sounds French and exciting :)
Thank you dear!
Haha! That's how I felt there too.
You'll love it! It is not huge and fancy but they treat their animals right and it's not like the scary ones where you can feed the seals in Seaside.
Thanks for stopping by! I just got a new camera and still learning :)
Aw thanks!
I haven't been to the zoo in years either! That would be another fun place to go and take photos.
they are rather amazing :) I might have to do a post about sea creatures soon, with some excerpts... we'll see!
