Everglades | Alligator Portrait An American Alligator Portrait gets real up close and personal. The portrait image must be captured down on the ground; meeting the gator at his level. The 70-300mm telephoto lens set at 70mm is still 189mm after the Nikon 1 V1 2.7 crop factor. Yes, that’s still close, but not too close. Gators generally move rather slowly. They can really move fast. Keep a safe distance. And, remember you’re on the ground; maybe on your belly, capturing this image. For the whole story with all images, see Everglades | a 7 Image Story.
