That Picture of the CEO is really well done. It is really hard to shoot in front of an aquarium and not get flash glare.

You are absolutley right. Actually I know several of the guys, they come up with the most amazing shots.

Yep. The way they did this shot was to use one light on the left side as close to the glass as possible aimed back at the subject. I would have also used a back light off the the right just so that the CEO's head doesn't blend with the black hole behind them.

But all in all a very nice shot.

I might be game for that! I'm waiting for this to open to make a trip to Sea World. I haven't been there in yearsss... Waiting to see Turtle Trek and ride Manta for the first time!

 

[Journey_On]

If you do plan the meet up, I might be up for it as well. I've been waiting until Turtle Trek opens to buy my AP.

ETA: I bought my AP this past week - just couldn't wait! :smiley:

 

[kingeric]

Well I think we can plan a meet up maybe the day or the day after it opens lol

Yeah it is part of the actual attraction film. The entire film has been digitally made using CGI.
