126<\/h3>\n

Well, the last two days were fun and exciting for me. Though many folks got fooled, pretty much everyone enjoyed the spoof. Thanks again to the very kind and generous Bryan Carnathan of The Digital-Picture.com<\/a> who kindly granted me permission to adapt and re-publish his clever April Fool’s post here on my blog on April 2, 2014. Lots of folks were on guard on April 1 but had let their guard down by the next day. If you missed it, you can read Bryan’s original post here<\/a><\/p>\n

This image was created at Gatorland at 6:21pm on March 22, 2014 at Gatorland on a cloudy afternoon with the Gitzo 3532 LS carbon fiber tripod<\/a>, the Mongoose M3.6 head<\/a>, the Canon EF 600mm f\/4L IS II USM lens<\/a>, the Canon 1.4x EF Extender III (Teleconverter)<\/a>, and the Canon EOS-1D X<\/a>. ISO 800. Evaluative metering -1\/3 stop as framed: 1\/640 sec. at f\/9 in Manual mode.
