I'm just sorting through a few images taken a few weekends ago out west.

ISO 200 ~ F/8 ~ `1/3 EV ~ 1/500 sec ~ Shot in RAW.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Mike.. Great shot. I've tried to shoot these guys a couple times and always seem to blow out the white. Nice exposure all around.

Thanks Prescott and Dave. Something about wildlife that keeps me coming back for more.

Nice shots!! How did you get so close to them yet photograph them at water level?

Thanks, Adam. These were the ones were I took off my shoes and got into the water a little ways. I also have some when I had this super boat/cruise director giving me a paddleboat tour. :ivar

Great images Mike. The low perspective really makes them, plus the light is really nice. This week Harry and everyone in Florida thought I was nuts because I was laying on my belly at the waters edge. I could feel their lenses pointed at me waiting for a gator to get me.

Thanks, Nick! Florida is definitely has a different element with the Gators and snakes roaming around. You need to keep your head on a swivel down there.
