ABOVE: After emerging from its nest a baby turtle heads
into the surf creating a great closing image. The scene
provides a sense of hope and the turtle moving out of the
frame signals an end to the photographic essay. Nikon
D800E, 16-35mm f/4 lens. 1/25s @ f18, ISO 400.
OPPOSITE: Vets examine a green turtle as part of a
rehabilitation program. I tried zooming in on the turtle to
remove distracting elements, but left just enough in the
image to tell the story of the vets examining the turtle.
Nikon D800E, 16-35mm f/4 lens. 1/80s @ f6.3, ISO 500.
