Takashi Amano - SUMIDA AQUARIUM - display tanks

Cheers guys, i had a little time and color corrected my shots from the Japan trip back in sept-oct.

The reason why i am posting this because on larger resolution this is clearly visible how mind blowing are these tanks.
Perfect plant health, super clean sands everywhere. Just looking at all these Microsorums and you do not find a single black leaf. And these are real giants to handle.
Half of these tanks are a year old now. I remember the time when ADA set up the first giant in Sumida with all those "stadium lights" 🙂 We were scared how this will work on the long term. But they do. Truly inspirational pieces.

Anyway just to have it on record here they are, enjoy 🙂

This was a Canon 5D Mark III with my old 17-40 f4 lens.
Unfortunately because of the travel i was not able to use tripod. I only had the camera and a few lens with me.

But Canon 5D Mark III did very well on focusing. I shoot many of these stuff in auto focus mode! Which i rarely do otherwise. But since we had a very limited time i had to do that fast.
The focus worked nicely and quickly in this dark room 🙂 I guess my old 5D Mark II would fail this test.
