St Augustine Alligator Farm

jeromego · 18th of April 2009 (Sat)

i was at the st augustine alligator farm in florida early this morning to shoot some birds at the rookery and saw a bunch of photographers with canon gears. i was wondering if any of them are members of this forum. i would love to see the photos of those taken with the 300/400/500 mm lenses. im actually in the market for any of these lenses. thanks.

This place is on my priority list for a visit. I have heard great things about the photo ops there. Please tell us more of your visit. What is the best time of year to go, etc.?

In my opinion Alligator Farm offers good oportunities but NOT like Gatorland in Orlando. The birds are much closer at Gatorland offering great close ups opportunities.

I will be conducting a class at Gatorland in May 2nd and 3rd. We'll cover, manual exposure, fill flash, composition and much more.

I will be posting some images from there for you guys to get an idea of how good of a place Gatorland is.

Stay tune!!
