Field Notes

Description:

Winged Box Jelly at Kahe Point (Electric Beach) Oahu, Hawaii. This was how our day started, when we decided to go to a south facing beach on Oahu only one day after the jellyfish warnings. Many stings to my son and myself, needless to say we didn't stay long!

Notes:

Had a very hard time photographing these, since they were clear the camera kept focusing through them on the background. I did my best to clean up the photos, but would welcome advice on photographing jellies from anyone who is proficient at it.
