I go to our lake most mornings around sunrise, never know what I'll see. This beautiful turtle (snapper of some sort) clawed his way out recently. I love that I see these things. I had gone out to see if I could find the baby wood ducks. I added the last pic only to show how easily distracted I am! I had just gotten down to mrs. turtle's level when I saw the ducks and changed direction. I need to FOCUS!
Adding info- these were shot at sunrise which had not gotten anywhere near the lake 10,000 ISO. Grainy but I was close so they aren't too cropped . I have a bunch of cameras no other would have given me any quality at 10,000 ISO
Shutter 250, hand held which for me is a miracle
100-500mm lens at 238mm
And because I never think of everything I was at f11! Had I thought to drop that I'd have so much better images.

The duck had the right idea. That snapper would eat YOU if she could. LOL Nice shots of the primitive creature.
 
That's a big ol' snapper! I love the high ISO performance, I agree, nothing I have ever owned gives me the same performance at high ISO's.
