Description
THE SHALLOWS
A 12 foot alligator lurks in the shallow waters of the Florida Everglades at night. I was photographing the night sky when I accidentally bumped my tripod and knocked it over. I heard something moving in the water next to me and it was then that I noticed that I attracted the attention of one of the big guys!
I never use flash on wildlife...ever. Even if it means losing a great shot. I use a dimmable LED for night shots if I have to but didn't have it with me this time. I made this one exception and used my flash on the lowest possible setting to get a usable image. I apologized profusely afterwards but the gator didn't seem to mind ;)
