Photo Gallery :: Wild living RES - in a pond at Caltech

[xcgames]

I was walking on campus and saw a whole bunch of RES basking, so I took out my camera and shot a few pictures to share with everyone.

Very nice pictures! Are they fairly used to pedestrian traffic? Seems like you didn't bother them too much.

i was really far away, i'm guessing at least 20+ ft. I used a full 12x optical zoom on all of those pictures.

Wow---just look at those "suntans" on some of those guys and gals. Nice pics.

Wow! That's a gaggle of turtles. How big is the pond?

20ft by 30ft, there are three levels, each pond per level. There are also frogs and gold fishes living there besides RES. In the summer you can even find crawfish swimming around.

OMG that's so cool! I'm so use to seeing my RES at home, it's hard to imagine them out in the wilds.

Thanks for the pictures!!

Those are really high clarity pictures! (what camera do you use?)

canon S3 on a tripod. I love the zoom on this cam.

Nice pics....I'm used to see my RES in my bedroom, but not in the wild. Thanx 4 sharing.

I wonder if it's age, the sun (or both) that make them so dark....
