Bayou Photography

I took a drive this morning to a bayou near my house to photograph some wild alligators, flying birds, and some landscape shots. Here are a few of my keepers.

Hope you had a looooong lens for the gator shots...really nice photos, Tim!

I grew up in Cajun country. Gators were just another pest. I used my 24-105 and was about ten feet from the gators.

Those are some cool shots Tim, really like the gator ones!

kool shots,i've been trying to find gators in my background in Fl,sense theres always there normally around 7 footers or so Not really big ones a few times i think i saw one but didn't have a camera,Haven't been to the everglades in a year or so :( What required lens would you say you need?Nice photos (: i like the aligators :D

10 feet is still too close for me for the gator shots!

Damn straight, I'll just stay up here in Yankee country where the worst pest is the sewer rat

great shot of the gator's back, I love how you can really see the leathery texture of it
