A small group of images of an Alligator Snapper swimming into the light from under a pier has always been a favorite of my wife...

I actually found this snapping turtle out in a shallow, muddy pond. And I was so determined and eager to get his portrait that I waded out, picked him up, and brought him back to the bank! He wasn't very happy about that, but don't worry, I still have all my fingers. =)
He's a good sized turtle, his shell was about a foot long and he weighed at least ten pounds. This is actually his good side; he's missing his other eye, poor fellow. Fortunately, since he spends his life in muddy water where there's little visibility anyway, a missing eye isn't much of an impairment.
Once this snapper moved out from cover, and accustomed to the light, I was able to get in close. I figure Gary probably calmed it down from up there.

Photographers at the swimming finals last night.
A couple of observations:
1. Waah! That's a lot of gear! I've never seen so many 400mm f/2.8 lenses in one place (maybe I should hang out at more international swimming comps). My quick estimate is somewhere around A$300,000 worth of toys in this picture.
2. Sports photography seems to be a pretty blokey business
3. Nikon have got some work to do if they want to get back into this market!
One of the fun parts of the faire is turtle watching. The lily pond has a lot of small Painted turtles swimming around. This was the first Snapping turtle I've seen there.

We sacrificed the cozy comforts of sleep this morning to capture the sunrise at Snapper Rocks on the Tweed Heads coast.

Snapper point is near Beachport in South Australia. The low cloud combined with a 30 second exposure saturated the colours nicely just as the sun set.
