Obviously they aren't very good, sorry about the quality. Does anyone have any idea on how to improve taking photos from behind glass?

Their large aquarium:

Nice! You did pretty darn well considering you're photographing in a public aquarium. I don't know how to get rid of the reflections. In fact, if it's possible using a Linux proggie, I'd like to know so I can clean up some of my own pix. :D

Looks like a fun place, I usually have better luck taking photos through glass if I am right up to it, and no flash (if its well lit). Standing back to far gets me reflections, hazyness and flash bounce.

Just have to beat the tourist with the nearest object and they go away. :lol:

I really love the Florida Aquarium, I have been going since I was a little kid. That seems so obvious, how come I didn't think of that.

Here are some videos and photos from Lowery Park Zoo.
