One of the two Nile Hippos at the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ.
I visited this aquarium today with a few friends. The animals were fascinating to watch, but it proved to be a disappointing day for me photographically. Most of the animals are on the other side of a thick window and they really don't like to hold still! On top of that it was a dreary day outside, and either the light was not cooperative or I was just having an off day. This is one of my better shots, but I wish it were a little sharper. I have a cheap Canon 75-300mm lens, and while the long zoom is great, at f/5.6 it's hard to catch a moving target in mediocre light.
