Digital Nature Photography

No fancy photography, I am not a professional photographer. I have a simple video camera with still picture capability.

As of 2010 the camera used is a Sony HX1

These pictures and videos are presented exactly as I viewed them at the time. No modifying except for some gamma, brightness, or contrast adjustments in order to have a more comprehensive image.

Turtles

It is evidentially a common snapping turtle. It is a beautiful turtle, much more attractive than the brown or gray common snapper. It was a very aggressive little turtle and followed my every move, not like the usual retraction into its shell revealing only the shell. This turtle was about 5 to 6’ long and impeccably black.
