Jellyfish!!!

Here are some photos I took of jellyfish along the shore of the Croatan Sound. They really are pretty animals!

If you look close, you can see the reflection of the sky and clouds on the water, in a couple of shots.

Excellent pictures...

They are pretty but those things freak me out.

Great pictures, of course all your pictures you post are awesome and much appreciated.
What camera/lens setup are you using?
My wife and I are going to Hawaii in a couple months and while I have a nice Nikon with an 18-200 VR lens for all around pictures I have nothing for under water and was thinking of getting a little water-proof digital that could easily be carried around on the beach's and under water,any suggestion?

Makes my skin tingle and burn just looking at them. I don't even swim in the Gulf during August and September because of Sea Nettles.

I used a Sony F-717 Cybershot for the jellyfish pics. That camera is out of production, unfortunantly. I hope the one I have lasts a long time, because it does really good macro shots. For everything else I use a Nikon D200 and Nikon D70S. Lenses are 18-200DX and 80-400EG, both Nikon. Thanks for the kind words about my photo efforts!

I spotted the same type in Watch Hill Rhode Island Wednesday.

The ones I'm used to seeing are all stringy these are much more defined.
