Challenge: Blurry Mess II (Minimal Editing I)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
Date: Feb 6, 2014
Aperture: 4
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/4
Date Uploaded: Feb 6, 2014

 Not too blurry, disorganized or messy, but Kata the turtle simply wasn't in an abstract mood today.

More like shrimp mood.

I had fun getting to know my camera! Loads of JPEGs, fixed white balance at around the 50th image, played with in-camera processing around the 100th. Then, it was all about the good aperture and the right shutter speed.

At the end, she was rewarded with her usual walk around the apartment before dinner, ate her shrimp and fell asleep hugging the water heater.

Thrilled with all the comments - thank you so much!

this is the only respectful way to photograph a turtle - they really need the panache

I've been look at this for the longest time, couldn't see what it was. Then all of a sudden I did see it. I love surprises like this. If a turtle could put this on her facebook page, she would!
