I got around to working a second image....the title applies to both the gator and me......while I have been up for countless sunrises.......I do confess to a preference of the night. I prefer this image over the first one because it is a little darker and more mysterious. The gator is facing a better direction and he just fades to black and the unknown. A little creepy when you are standing in the water composing the picture....fully aware that a few of his relatives are stil in the lake.
I took your advice on the previous post......and got rid of the star reflections......including the brightest ripple.
Canon Mark 3 with the 17-40mm lens at 17mm for 30 seconds at f4 and ISO 6400. Tripod mounted, hot shoe bubble level.....gator flashed once......rest painted with headlamp. I was a bit further away from the gator when i flashed him.......that's why he is darker.
