Wow, that's scary.
Yes, I was a bit nervous being that close but I was in a golf cart with one foot on the accelerator. I

Nice photo, but too close for me.
As I mentioned earlier, I was about 15 ft, a 70-200 lens, in a golf cart with one foot on the accelerator.

What a photograph! But they are magnificent animals!
Thanks. They've been around for millions of years for a reason.

Remember the story! They run in a straight line, and if you zig-zag he increases his chance of getting you.
All I can tell you is if I ever get bitten, I know what part of my body will take the hit!!

I thought one big difference between Alligators and Crocodiles was that Alligators are less aggressive to Humans. Not willing to try and prove it, but I'm sure I picked that up on a programme about Crocodillia.
I'll let someone else check out that theory. I wanted to get the shot and get the hell out!

Tough looking guy Rob!!
I think I like the shot because of the unusual angle (straight on), his girth, laying down makes him look really big, and his eyes give him a predator look. Nothing to fool with. I was asked how close I was. I was around 15 feet using a 70-200, in a golf cart with one foot on the accelerator.

nice shot hope you got your ball back. Foooooouuuuurrrr
Nope. There is an unplayable lie rule that applies to predators. No penalty.

He's a big one, all right. Nice shot.
Thanks. I liked the angle and his eyes. Didn't stay too long.

I heard they can run for short bursts up to 30mph! It is the reason that although I live fulltime in a motorhome and have for 12 years...I have never been to Florida...12' alligators and 16' long pythons are not on my bucket list!
Not sure about 30 but I know they can move quickly. One shot and I was gone.

This is another reason why you don't spend a lot of time searching for your golf ball in FL. He's just hoping you'll hit it near the lake

Really great shot. Would like to know camera setting for flash and shutter speed. Congrats on your capture.

Thanks for your observation and critique. I'll go back to the original and see if I cropped it. I do remember making sure the entire reflection was in the shot. Thanks again for checking them out.

Wonderful series! Maybe it’s just me, but I would have liked a bit more space above the head of the first shot.
