About A red-ear slider turtle, named Rafael in this capture as homage to the teenage mutant ninja turtle that wore the red bandana. I thought the patterns on this guy would be distinctive representations. PS for presentation.

I know they are hard subjects to photograph out in the pond for they are usually sunning theirselves in bright sunlight with the water. Like this composition of Rafael.

Thanks Nacho

Thanks Robert . . . They lure in our pond easily using fish and crickets (which they love to eat). We have two red (and one yellow) sliders, an outdoor pond and large indoor tank (which is best for photographing).

He sure is beautiful- I love turtles too- as a kid I had a pet box turtle for 12 years! Great framing here too. Tell Rafael he is very photogenic!


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99842} 3/22/2006
Thanks Kay . . . A great model and he works for crickets! I'll let him know.

Oh, THAT Rafael! [grin] I thought from the thumbnail it was the name of your pet frog, but I see it is a colourful turtle. Fantastic colouring! He's really beautiful in his own special way...


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99842} 3/23/2006
Thanks Roger . . . quite right, "that Rafael". Anybody with children during that time knows what I mean (as well as some who didn't have kids). I appreciate the comment.

Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99842} 4/7/2006
Thanks Alison . . . but you DO get a lot of wonderful animals we don't get . . . That's a GREAT excuse to travel, huh? Thanks for commenting.
