Description

Finalist May, 2012 (Animals)

1/1600s @ f/6.3, ISO 400, Nikor 500mm f/4.0.
Had a great time watching this family and shooting at the Alligator Farm rookery. These little guys were really comical to watch - have many more to share. It was my first time at a rookery and I was amazed! But it's taken me a long time to sift through them all - came back with over 5,500 photos!

Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1600 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 500.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700

Yes, hundreds of chicks, but also many still to come - saw lots of eggs, particularly in heron nests, and spoonbills incubating eggs. #10131509
