Location
I was golfing at Seatrail in Sunset Beach, NC. I was on #13 on the Byrd Course. I hit a shot over the pond, short of the green near the water. I could recover my ball but dropped my club and grabbed my camera to get this gator enjoying the sun.Time
It’s early afternoon.Lighting
No, It was high sun but I played with parameters on the camera until I got the best blurry background and a close enough shot to shot his eyes. Remember the eyes are window to the soul.Equipment
Canon long lense.Inspiration
I love taking the animals on the golf course during golfing. This helps to when golf is slow or when I am having a bad golf day. There are lots of gators across the ponds at SeaTrail.Editing
No major.In my camera bag
My Canon with various long and short lenses.Feedback
Just like shorting people, if you can focus on capturing the eyes and position an interesting background this gives a wow-factor picture.
