Hillsborough River State Park Photos

It's warm in Florida but not warm enough for many of the usual creatures to come out. Except mosquitoes. The best shot I got was of a dog that didn't like the big lenses pointed at him. (His owner gave the OK before we shot.)

There is no shooting in comfort, it seems. You see the most wildlife outside when you'd rather be inside instead of sweating in the heat. Oh, well. If I want the shots, I must be willing to suffer for my art.

I did bring my tripod so I could try longer shutter speeds (0.8 seconds) on some of the rapids on the river.
