One of three Silverbacks at Disneyworld Orlando. This guy played nice and posed motionless for me to capture him on my 5D MarkII.

1/160, ISO 400, 24-105mm f4L @ 105mm and f5.0.

    Nice cap. Those guys don't always stand still in the open for you lie that.

    I've probably got a pic or two ofthat same silverback; I go to Walt Disney World every year, and I've gotten numerous shots of the gorillas on the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail.

    By the way - the resort in Orlando is Walt Disney World (separate words), not Disneyworld. The resort in Anaheim CA is Disneyland (all one word).
    What I said when I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time: "The wide ain't wide enough and the zoom don't zoom enough!"

    I was looking at this thread on my iPhone earlier. Looking at it on my computer now, I just noticed that he was looking right at you when you clicked. And he has what could almost be interpreted as a slight smile.

    I almost expect him to wiggle his eyebrows and say, "How YOU doin'?"
