I foiund that turtles can be a pain to photograph. When their skin is wet and the sun is out, major blowout can occur. I lost a potential great shot of a very large one sticking its head above water. It looked like a prehistoric B=movie moster. I also had it's large fin\foot, under water, in the shot. However, its nose was wet and completely blown out and no amount of the clone tool could make it look right. Next time I'll know to knock doen the exposure a few clicks before shooting.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
