Dear Friends,

following my warthog pitchas I've got some monkey business for you. These pictures are from a zoo where the animals have a *lot* of freedom. Just the way I like it, but it begs for a 400mm :D it was actually my first outing with a sparkling 400 and I really like using that prime!
Now for the monkeys:

Don't you just love the way they look like small humans? And those eyes...

    Great job on the Gibon. Black face and body and you nailed the sucker!!! Lovely family moment too. Always good to see a nature "awww, look at that" shot. :D

    Thanks Gus

    It's great to take pictures of primates and it really strikes me how much we are alike!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Lovely shots Michiel. clap.gifI also like the 4th one the best. Do you think the lighter colored Monkeys would benefit from a little more contrast?

    Thanks Rohirrim

    Well I tried, but I like it more this softly, for me it is like I observed it and want to remember :D
    Thanks for the tip though, such things do slip my mind now and then, and I can always appreciate this kind of input clap.gif
