Shutter-life|Adaptive photography and more, by Henrik Johansson

This is a shot from the Monterey Bay Aquarium with some sort of herring (I think). The fish tank was small and cylindrical in shape. The water inside the tank was made to rotate, simulating a current. This made the herring school to decrease the power needed to withstand the current.

As you can see in the original below, the shot is a bit blurry and the blue tones dominte heavily. I used a preset in Lightroom that mimics an IR effect, hence the heavy green tint. I also dropped the color temperature, increased the clarity and the saturation and played with the tone curve to increase the contrast. The blue tones was made a bit darker. All of these changes made the photo grainy but I think the grain works nice here. I cropped the photo heavily and also made a small rotation to induce more movement in the photo.
