I was driving down an old farm road close to a creek when I saw this big snapping turtle crossing the road. I stopped and got out the car. I started shooting all different angles. I wanted to get close so I got as close as I could and focused on the eye. This guy did not like me being there. He responded the only way he could, he jumped at me and stretched his neck out and snapped! I was not ready for that I jumped faster than he did. If he had got any piece of me, he would not let go until that piece came off. I was done after that, I had to go home and get cleaned up! I am using an Olympus E3 camera with a 70-300mm lens ISO 400 60/sec f8
