Snapping Turtle Portrait

Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, Basking Ridge, NJ.


One of he things I like to emphasize to my students is you don't need to travel far to exotic locations to create excellent and memorable photographs. Working close to home has many advantages including being in the right place at the right time and intimately knowing your location and the subjects found there. I find I do some of my best work within an hours drive of my home.


Snapping turtles are nocturnal and spend most of the time underwater, lying on the bottom of the waterbody. Their dark-colored skin and moss-covered shell enables the turtles to lie in wait and ambush their prey. Usually docile in water, snapping turtles can be aggressive during the breeding season when they are found traveling across land.
