This is a sweet, little aquarium in La Jolla, California that makes up for it&#8217;s smaller size with quality exhibits.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it&#8217;s not as crowded as bigger aquariums so you can take great photographs of the sea life without fighting the crowds as much.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.montereybayaquarium.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monterey Bay Aquarium<\/a> is huge in comparison but when I visited, I could barely get to the tanks\u00a0without being stampeded by\u00a0a sea of kids who somehow don&#8217;t think that adults are allowed &#8220;a turn&#8221; at seeing the exhibits.<\/p>\n<p>I much prefer the relaxed atmosphere of San Diego&#8217;s own Birch Aquarium for photography. It&#8217;s definitely still a kid-friendly place to go shoot so if you&#8217;re travelling with family, this might be a good stop.<\/p>\n<h2>The Nitty Gritty<\/h2>\n<p>[table id=4 \/]<\/p>\n<h2>Incredible Colors of the Deep<\/h2>\n<p>Like most aquariums, Birch aquarium is fairly dark with spotlit tanks. This makes for some challenging lighting but also leads to some incredible shots.<\/p>\n<p>You have to watch out for the speed of the moving fish making it harder to use\u00a0longer exposures.<\/p>\n<p>So you need to go with the <a href=\"http:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/what-is-a-fast-lens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fastest lens<\/a> you have, i.e. the one that allows the widest aperture, and use the highest ISO you can bear.<\/p>\n<p>I took these photos a while ago and at the time I was shooting with the Canon XTi. Loved that camera but the ISO definitely got too grainy at ISO 800 so I was forced\u00a0to keep it to a maximum of ISO 400.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9259\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-in-photos-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"img_6979\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-in-photos-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-in-photos-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-in-photos-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-in-photos.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><div id=\"wp-image-9259-exif\" class=\"exif\"><div class=exifleft><div class=exiflabel class=exposure>Exposure<\/div><div class=value>1\/125s &#402;\/1.8 @ ISO 400<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=focal_length>Focal Length<\/div><div class=value>50mm<\/div><\/div><div class=exifright><div class=exiflabel class=camera>Camera<\/div><div class=value>Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=created_timestamp>Date & Time<\/div><div class=value>August 30, 2009, 10:07 pm<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>I love how vivid the yellow of the fish is against the blue of the tank.

I would love to see one in the wild, but I&#8217;m not sure how likely that is.<\/p>\n<p>Seahorses are very endangered by the warming waters of the ocean. Apparently they are often illegally collected too &#8211; for medicinal purposes as well as by hobbyists. Which definitely sucks. If you think something so delicate is so beautiful, do you really want to endanger it further?<\/p>\n<p>Most hobbyists are unable to keep these delicate creatures alive in captivity. Birch Aquarium on the other hand, very much know how to protect them. And we&#8217;re lucky to get a chance to see them there!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d be happy to learn that as of May 2019, the Birch Aquarium Seadragons and Seahorses exhibit will be permanent.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9262 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-seahorses-533x800.jpg\" alt=\"Seahorse\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" \/><div id=\"wp-image-9262-exif\" class=\"exif\"><div class=exifleft><div class=exiflabel class=exposure>Exposure<\/div><div class=value>1\/25s &#402;\/2.2 @ ISO 400<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=focal_length>Focal Length<\/div><div class=value>50mm<\/div><\/div><div class=exifright><div class=exiflabel class=camera>Camera<\/div><div class=value>Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=created_timestamp>Date & Time<\/div><div class=value>August 30, 2009, 10:45 pm<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9263\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-seadragon-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Seahorse\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-seadragon-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-seadragon-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-seadragon-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/birch-aquarium-seadragon.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><div id=\"wp-image-9263-exif\" class=\"exif\"><div class=exifleft><div class=exiflabel class=exposure>Exposure<\/div><div class=value>1\/80s &#402;\/1.8 @ ISO 800<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=focal_length>Focal Length<\/div><div class=value>50mm<\/div><\/div><div class=exifright><div class=exiflabel class=camera>Camera<\/div><div class=value>Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=created_timestamp>Date & Time<\/div><div class=value>August 30, 2009, 10:50 pm<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>They also have a great shark tank with such fast moving sharks, I struggled to get a good shot.<\/p>\n<p>Again, perhaps a return trip with my higher ISO Canon 70d would allow me to capture that.<\/p>\n<p>You can also go touch some creatures in the tide pools as well, although I much prefer to shoot\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/listing\/photograph-windansea-tidepools\/\">tide pools<\/a>\u00a0in the wild.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Birch aquarium is really a pretty great place to spend an hour or two and shoot some great photos.
