Good thing I have Image Stabilization. 25mph winds are not good for taking photos from a kayak.

Taken with a Canon S2 IS on auto mode. I'm still learning. :)

Love the line-up of the first one. How much did you pay them to pose?

Usually the turtles are pretty cool about posing when I float by. I've been to that location many times now, and I think they've begun to see that I don't pose any threat to them. It was cool to have 8 turtles remain there in a line for the picture though. Now if I could just get a picture showing a turtle on top of another turtle. The bottom one always jumps off before I get the picture, and the one on top doesn't have much choice at that point...
