Gator: Eye to Eye Meet the American Alligator up close and personal. Oh, sure, I was close, but not too close. The 70-300mm set at 70mm is still 189mm after the Nikon 1 V1 crop factor. This guy is much younger than yesterday’s post. As a FYI, American Alligators are black; some folks apparently think some are green. Not so, they’re all black. Anyway, I was very close to the ground to capture the image. And, there were several gators in the area. Remember, although they generally move about rather slowly, these guys can really move fast. Keep a safe distance.
