Look at that stare! OMG. How could I not take that picture. He is a silverback ape staring straight ahead and perfectly still. I was transfixed.Editing
I adjusted the exposure so you can see his eyes just a bit better.In my camera bag
My Canon T2i, various lenses, assorted filters, back up batteries & SD cards, collapsible lens hood, business cards, charger.Feedback
If it catches your eye, shoot it. If you find yourself pulling closer and closer because the details are beckoning, shoot it. Take as many pictures as you can from every angle and distance feasible and you will get That Shot.
