Photographers Comment: The
black and white monkeys were quite high up, and required a long lens, I was using a
80-400mmVR, mostly at 400mm. They move about relatively slowly. The smaller Monkeys
live in much denser trees and come when called and fed, getting a good shot
through the foliage is more difficult. You can get very close, so a normal zoom
is okay here, but you have to be quick.
This reserve has no fences so the monkeys are here
because they want to be. The
villagers here did not want to have their photos taken, the reason given was
that people promise to send photos but never do, only the guide was happy to
have her photo taken. |
