Nice turtleneck, Charlie.

This is a re-post after cleaning it up some more. This was taken on the Reef n' Rays tour at Grand Caymen. This was the last shot of about 5. I knew if I went up for air I'd never find him again. Problem with point and shots is that they don't shoot when you press the button. Very frustrating with a moving subject.

"A turtle in the road!". Sometimes we pull over for the silliest things- but sometimes the best photos come from moments like these that you never expected. Good thing I keep the ol' PowerShot handy. I used 2 exposures- 1 to expose the turtle and another to expose the sky and the road.

Eastern Box Turtle

My first encounter with the crystal blue water araound Apo Island, gave me the oppertunity to swim with 5 green turtles. Looads of picture will come from this trip. This was also a debut for my new canon S100 camera and it offers a great white balance controle under water.

Spiny Softshell Turtle

It's time for the snapping turtles and painted turtles to lay their eggs. Everyday we see turtles on or near the bridge by our house. Several of the nests have already been dug up by marauding critters at night, possibly raccoons. There have been as many as 5 turtles looking for a nesting site at one time.

Turtle, South-Africa - summer 2003

In 1991, Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga was formed. The idea was to give the responsibility for the turtle’s survival to the very people whose economy had depended on harvesting the turtles.

Turtle waiting to go back in the pond.

The grounds of the shrine are full of birds and wildlife, including these cute turtles!

I swear none of these turtles moved at all the entire time I was there.

Another one nearby pulled its head into its shell, but I've got a stabilized animation using several photos of these three, and the pond ripples change, the turtles don't move a pixel as far as I can tell!

We crossed paths just as there was a brief break in the clouds. This mature turtle's carapace was a bit over a foot long. Gotta love the lens's 1.5 m minimum focusing distance!

The encounter resulted in a mud-bellied photographer.

The brochure just gave Swamp Turtle as the common name; think I've got the right ID.

Sea turtles are a favorite.

Florida chicken turtle (Deirochelys reticularia chrysea).

June evening at Lake Maria State Park, MN. See a painted turtle in the grass and get out to get a few photos and expect it to run off like most painted turtles do, but it didn't. It was digging in the ground a hole and thought it was strange and then the first egg popped into the hole and watched her drop 8 eggs into the hole and then covered the hole and walked back to the lake.
