i actually took this in may, but forgot to put it up. i like it enough that i didn't want it to get buried in the archives so i'll leave it here for a while and then give it the correct date.
monkeys are always around and are usually in some comic situation or pose, but i had not before nor have i since seen one like this. they're skittish, so i was hiding in some greenery to stay incognito. hence the green blur in the corners that i wish weren't there. an unbroken sea of tiles would be better.
i have a 1.4x tele-extender that i use with my 70-200mm and my 135mm lenses. so that is the 1.4x category that is in my labels. it makes my 70-200mm's minimum aperature f/4, which ends up being a little soft. so i usually shoot at f/5.6 for sharpness, though that makes for more depth of field than i would like for animal photos.
i give notes and commentary on all of my photos in the comments section. click thegreenpost title to show that photo with my comments below. please add your own comments or critiques and thanks for checking in! -phil
