This Common Snapping Turtle was right out in the open in my backyard digging for a place to lay eggs. The Nikon 1 V1 with the 70-300mm (focal length 810mm) lens allowed me to stay far enough away to not disturb her. Although the grass was a bit wet, it was worth it to get a turtle’s eye view. Hopefully, by summer’s end, a few baby turtles will appear.
