Mr. Gator's Morning Walk

[Phil L]

Earlier this weekend, using a 7D, I photographed this alligator walking across a path along side a South Carolina marsh pond.
At the same time I also had an iphone set up on a mini tripod at low level and made this 15 second video as the big guy walked by.

Nice video of the walk. I would not want to get too close.

Thanks for checking it out.

Here's another one from back in April I took in the same area with a 7D and the 70-200 2.8
It's just over 30 seconds and notice how slow this alligator is walking compared to the other video.

I'm lucky that they (mostly) just ignore me.
Thanks for looking.
