My wife and I were travelling through a stretch of wilderness Sunday
afternoon, coming home from a funeral, when we saw this one as it was
crossing the road. Jean was reluctant to get too close, but I needed
something in the picture for scale. You don't see them much bigger than this
in our neck of the woods. I've never been able to get a good picture of a
turtle, but this is my latest effort.. Shooting from above doesn't seem to
do it, and front on gives DOF problems. It was raining, and I didn't have a
polarizer with me to cut down on reflections. I sometimes turn them over to
get a picture from the bottom, but I hesitated to nudge this fellow over
with my foot as I thought he might take a chunk out of the dress shoe I was
wearing.
