The thermal pools, around and within which the monkeys were congregating, were within the shadow of the valley. However, given the clear, early, autumn skies there was plenty of natural ambient light being reflected from the surrounding mountain walls.Equipment
EOS 70D with a Sigma DG 150-500mm 1:5-6.3APO HSMInspiration
Having witnessed this male deal with an insurrection from a junior within the troupe. I then watched as he climbed to a higher vantage point above the pools, from which he could monitor the ongoing situation. It was then that I captured this image as he pensively watches for further trouble.Editing
Minimal cropping and adjustment of contrast and saturation.In my camera bag
Always a spare battery and alternate lens. Other equipment such as radio triggers, flash etc are added dependent what I expect to be shooting on the day.Feedback
Capture the initial action and be prepared to capture the aftermath.
