I wanna go back sometime soon with a real camera. Last time I was there I didn't wanna pack a D-SLR, so I just had my handy little Elph with me. It's excellent for snapshots, but it was completely overmatched by the lighting, motion and reflections.

I guess i was expecting more man...the baltimore aquarium is a work of art, the entire building was built around viewing the aquariums, the atlanta one almost seemed as though they had the purpose of building walls with an occasional aquarium window. There was a few kickass viewing areas, but all in all it was very much a let down if you compare it to a few other aquariums in the US

and yes, the crowds were almost so bad we thought about leaving...my dad is in a wheelchair and no one had any courtesy, and the aquarium staff watched people kick him numerous times without doing anything

The 3d theatre was fun though, i wish they had told me that water would be sprayed on me though, haha, my camera was sitting on my lap
