Dinner time at Paynes Prairie State Park

kgarrett11

This weekend I went to Paynes Prairie State Park in Gainesville, Florida. I got some good shots but my autofocus on my 80-400mm lens went out so just about everything that I shot was manually focused. Most of my shots were not as sharp as I hoped that they would be. But here is a sequence that I lucky enough to get.

#1 The catch


#2 Taking the catch to the dinner table


#3


#4 The crunch


#5


#6


#7 Swallow it down


#8 That tasted good but now how can I get that guy with the camera to come closer!

I'll bet these are all at 400mm!

Best to keep your distance.:D

I was about 10 yards away but at the top of a steep hill and they were at 185mm. And no I wasn't going to go any closer. He had too big of a smile on his face when he was looking at me.

Smile eh? He just thought you were funny looking .
Scary!

Funny that's the same thing that my ex said before she left. And I said to her the same thing that the gator wanted to do to me.
