A few days ago, I posted a shot of a water lilly scene from my photographic trip to Kakadu National Park some time ago. I was asked if there are crocs in those waters.

Here's your answer, guys.

ps - photos are lousy and not worth critique but included these to answer the questions........

Saltwater croc - took this the same afternoon as the water lillies shot

Crocs, what crocs???? (back in the days when I had no grey hairs and also the pre-Nikon days when I was a Canon user!))

Andrew : Thanks for the compliment! I'm about to do it again soon, hopefully.......

Tony : The 'bazooka' is an 800mm 5.6 Canon. A real beauty, eh?

Cheers

LOL you're certifiable! Seriously though, I note you made good use of the lillies as an advanced warning system for any stray crocs that take an unhealthy interest in you. I just wonder what the thought process is if you see large chunks of lillies being pulled underwater and in your direction. Do I make for a quick getaway, or do I save the gear???

Andrew: Jokes aside, the guy I went with is one of Australia's foremost wildlife photographers and documentary makers and know's the area like the back of his hand. Due to the shallow water and thick lillies, crocs do not venture into this area. To answer your question, I'd probably go for the gear.... (only kidding!).

A nice picture of "Latchem" about to do the crocodile roll! That's not a lens, it's a mini Hubble telescope.
