here are some photos of my lil buddy that i really like. now that i know there's contests though i have even more reasons to be alvie's own personal paprazzi!

hope you enjoyed those! btw, how do you guys get those awesome underwater shots, any tips, or do yall just have nice cameras?

Those are awesome pics! I haven't been able to get shots of my turts basking since I first put the basking dock in. They enjoyed it so much they wouldn't move...now they are back to being scared.

As for the underwater shots, I find that macro mode without the flash works best. But if you go without the flash the camera has to be really steady. Other than that, with me it is just trial and error...repeat.

thanks missi! good idea with the macro, i'll let you know how it turns out, or see rather!

yea alvie is always scurryin off, but if i'm quiet and slow enough sometimes i catch him. thats part of the fun though.

My favorite was the first one.
They were all really good though.
I can never seem to get very good pictures of my turtles...

Your RES Has a very unique shell pattern. I've never seen anything like it !:)

hehe i found out from the vet that he was unhealthy as a newborn before i owned him, but now he's in tiptop shape, so i think thats what accounts for the shell pattern. regardless i think he's pretty adorable! ;p
