I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
An alligator this past weekend was having some fun in the water jumping around and making a big splash! The fish however were not having near as much fun…
First and last were the only shots where I could spot a teensy little fish that got away… great shooting there, Phil!
Mr A do appear to be having way too much fun!
Eh no, direi che i pesci non si divertivano tanto 🙂
Splendide, sono scatti meravigliosi
Ciao, Pat
No quei pesci non erano felici. 😯 Grazie per guardare queste foto.
These are such funny shots, Phil, although I’m sure the fish didn’t find it funny at all. Mr A looks as though he’s in 7th Heaven. 😀
Mr. A was thrilled! I didn’t think he ever going to leave his ‘honey hole’! 😀 Fish were not pleased at all though. 😦
Fantastic shots Phil. I can see why the fish were not amused 🙂
Thanks Edith and yes as you suspected the fish were not happy about the big guy splashing around in their pool at all.
I love those shots where the water is spraying out between the gator’s teeth.
Yeah that’s always a fun moment when they start fishing baleen style. :-0
Great action shots, Phil!
Thanks much Gareth, appreciate it.
I really like the look at those choppers in number three, Phil.That’s quite a fang back by the jaw.
I think was using more of a gulping method then a chewing method on these fish. He tends to save the choppers for crabs. 🙂
Thanks Steve.

You are correct, only those two photos show lucky escapees. 🙂
He was having a great time out there and was at it for a very long time.
Great photographs… Thank you dear Phil, have a nice day, love, nia
I’m so glad you liked those Nia, thank you!
Great action shots Phil,i love these kind of photo’s.
Thanks Jan, I love these situations myself, and jump on any opportunity I get to see this action.
Wow! He certainly is having fun, look at that grin!
He sure did seem to be having a great time, plus he got a full belly. Doesn’t get any better then that.
Very cool shots, Phil!
Thanks a bunch Amy, I’m very happy you enjoyed seeing these gator photos!
Hi Phil,
really fantastic snapshots, very cool, great action!!!
Have a nice day,
moni
I greatly appreciate your very kind words moni thanks so much!
Mr. A makes splashing around look like fun. So fun, I kinda want to join him. After 4,213 Skinny Pirates. Love the shots!
Oh it’s tons of fun all right!
You know what the best famous last words are right?…
“Here, hold my Skinny Pirate and watch this!”
Please be sure that quote goes on my tombstone.
Ha ha, you got it.
Love the close ups! Many, many unhappy fish I bet. Looks like frolicking – while also getting in a nip of a meal here and there. 🙂
Hey so glad you liked these alligator splash/feeding photos!
This guy knows how to have fun and get fed at the same time it seems. 🙂
