Weathered by Age
Canon 300D , EF 70-200/2.8L IS USM + Extender EF 1.4x II @280mm , f/5.0 , 1/400s , ISO 200
This amazing snapping turtle wandered out of our woods, and headed across the street. He/She would get frightened when we approached and tuck in his head, making him very cooperative for photos. I love the weathered, aged look that the detail of this shot captures. No real idea how old he is, but he looks like he’s seen many springs come and go.
