SeaWorld - Sea Turtle

[JimFox]

This is from SeaWorld San Diego from this week. The Sea Turtle exhibit is really cool, another one of the exhibits that has a viewing area below the surface of the water. It was fun to see them swim around. And I guess they can see us on the other side of the glass too? I will have to ask, but this Sea Turtle had swum right up to where I was standing.

I was surprised how easy it was to get some really nice photos. One has to be conscious of reflections. I would wrap my left hard around the end of the lens so that the lens itself wasn't touching the glass, but my hand itself. If I go down here more, I will buy a rubber lens hood that will flex and also not damage the glass in any way.

I believe this Sea Turtle was about 5 feet in length.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

I like your idea of a rubber lens hood piece. That would work well in Bodie too. The turtle looks pretty neat.

Thanks so much Alan. I actually had one and did use it in Bodie, but somewhere I lost it....

So I need to order a new one.
