This week’s photo was actually taken on Easter Sunday (yeah, I’m running several weeks behind on this blog).

This week was been filled with a lot of rain; and this time of year when we get a lot of rain, we also get a lot of baby turtles migrating through the neighborhood between the fields and the lakes. That also means that we usually find them squished on the road during our walks with the dogs.
Today when Lynn went to the grocery, she noticed a bunch of them in the roads, so she called me and asked me to rescue them all and take them down to one of the lakes. After I finished collecting them all, I noticed that I had 14, which happened to be the week that I needed to shoot today. At that point, I just knew that I had to shoot these little guys.

Lighting Info:

A B800 shooting in to a PLM52 with white diffusion, boomed over some white tileboard about 3-4' off the ground. Camera was on a tripod with the arm extended out and placed directly beneath the B800.

Later in the day, we rescued 8 more little baby turtles for a total of 22 that day!  More photos of these little guys can be seen on Easter Turtle Rescue set on Flickr.
