Killer in the Mist. Long exposure Alligator.
1/5 second is usually way to slow for wildlife photography using a telephoto lens. But, when faced with less than ideal conditions, I wanted a photo that would really emphasis the intense stare this alligator was giving. The weather conditions forced me to think outside the box which resulted in this long exposure image, making [...]
On Location: A week on Texel, Holland
I should have known this trip wouldn’t be the best as soon as I was asked to pay for overweight luggage at Heathrow Airport! And I would have been right. Five days of fog, one day of rain with grey skies and one, just one afternoon of sun and good light. Not the weather we [...]
