have no access to those shutter speeds. The best you can do is shoot these shots at a time of day when there is the most
light, and of course, have steady hands. You are gonna have to get up there past 1000, maybe as high as 1600, then you
might have a shot. If your camera can take it, you can pump the ISO up to 1250 or higher, and you can likely get
pretty close to the levels you need. With the I-PHONE.....nah, not likely. From the above shot, those look like
box turtles....in hand it looks like some kind of terrapin. Wish I was good on northern turtle species. PM sent.
Thanks for the info, and PM replied. My photos were taken with a Panasonic point and shoot that is good for underwater use.
