Running Otter
My last otter pic for now. I was quite amazed about how fast they were on ice. Must be those little spikes on the end of their legs
iso 320 1/500 sec. F4

Have a wonderful evening and I hope to 'see' all of you next year. Thanks for being an inspiration and motivation to me.

All the best,

Edwin Kats

Another great shot Edwin. He's getting closer - did you get the one where he sinks his teeth into your leg?

:biggrin: Nope, no leg knibbling over here Vince. I think they will bite you straight to the hospital.

Is this the look he gave after he bit you lol.

Just shows what damage they could do if you were to get bitten by one. :eek:

Superb, I had a few reservations on your earlier images, this one is perhaps the best image of an otter I have seen.... well done regardless...

:toast: :wavey: :toast:
Posted by Edwin kats on January 1, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Thanks guys :wavey: It was all worth it. The second image is just for showing those teeth, it hasn't been processed at all.

Thanks,

How I would love to see an otter for myself, hopefully one day. Loved your series Edwin, all first class, thanks for sharing.

Great series Edwin, think this may be my favourite of the bunch - brill sense of motion. Well done for sticking around long enough to get it, me I think I'd retreat away from those teeth! :smile:
Posted by David Taylor on January 2, 2009 at 2:19 PM
Yes definitely the best otter image I've seen in a long while. Superb.
