Dale Chihuly Exhibition at Monterey Aquarium

This is the Dale Chihuly's art work at the Monterey Aquarium in the Jellyfish area. Currently there is a major Chihuly exhibition in the de Young museum (http://www.chihuly.com) and it's really wonderful. Highly recommended.

This photo, however, is not successful. There are reflections in the glass and the flash doesn't render a good skin tone. To get a good one, I will probably need a totally different set of lighting equipment. Anyway, one interesting aspect of photography is you can always learn new things from your own failure. There is a certain playfulness in it and the more you fail, the better you will be. So if you are not good enough, you probably haven't failed enough.

(OK, here is a successful one which shows the true power of fill flash.)
