Re: Gaters

Wow, those are great! That must be a really big turtle in that second image. And... you're a h*** of a lot braver than I am!

Re: Gaters

Very nice, (Walt?)! The second one is a great interaction shot between the two species.

The first one is great with the reflection.

Great that you are a kayak shooter - I've been thinking about buying one from which to shoot (not gators though ). Any advice on which kind is better than others. Sit-on-tops, recreational, 10', 13', ...

Thanks in advance! And great shooting

Re: Gaters

Yes Loupey , The one I have you sit in with room for water a proof camera bag.The ones you sit on look like it would be hard to stay dry.Mine has a large opening with lots of room,plus a lot easier to get in and out of.I sat there for a bit to see what the gater had in mind and he just wanted the sun spot.Thanks for the good words.Walt

Re: Gaters

Very nice shots! And good info on the kayak too, I've been considering one myself, my canoe is just too big and heavy for a day out alone.
