There are only two or three places in the world where Pacfic Green Sea Turtles leave the water to bask. Punta Espinoza on Fernandina Island in the Galapagos is one of those places.
This relative youngster was photographed with the Canon 400mm f.4 IS DO lens, the 1.4X II TC, and the EOS 40D on the Mongoose M3.5. ISO 400. Exposure (about Evaluative metering +1/3 stop) determined by histogram check: 1/400 sec. at f/5.6.
Fortunately, I had just moved back when the turtle yawned.
Don't be shy; all comments are welcome and appreciated.
