NDR - Alligators!

Sarah and I went down to Brazos Bend State Park near Houston this weekend to shoot the 'gators. Since it's warmed up the gators are starting to come out a lot. We shot these w/ long lenses - so didn't actually GET in the water w/ the 'gators like some people we know (cough LAZ cough):

There was also a LOT of wonderful wildlife to photograph, full gallery HERE.

Hope you enjoy.

Cheers

I love Gators!!!

But even I won't get in the water w/um......., a canoe yes........., but in like some???????... until......?

Well James there is always the time when you are told there are no alligators around where the manatee are at Crystal River, and uh, well uh......., you might just be surprised sometime with a reptilian tail in your face!!!

Again great shots, loved them!!!

James,

Freaking awesome pics. I love the reflection off the water. Is that caged or alanatural?

Joe

Thanks guys! I love the reflections of the flowers a lot too.

These are all wild gators in their environment. I used a 100-400IS at 400mm on the 1DmkII to take these.

Cheers

James

James,

Everytime I see your pics with that 5D I get the bug to buy one. Great shots as always. I used to love going to that park when I lived in Houston, so long as I had lots of bug spray.
