Behind The Lens

Location

In my garden. Near the fruit trees of course ????

Time

To be honest, after I heard them howling near my soursop tree. The best way to see them off is to get your camera Must have been the late afternoon

Lighting

Nicely filtered by the trees of the little jungle behind the orchard

Equipment

My D4 the 800mm that was stolen last year and available light.the light and the D4 are still there thank God .

Inspiration

I actually enjoy taking pics of them, but they love to hide behind branches. So we did a staring contest.. I had the harder part hand lifting an 800mm and he wanted 'his' prize.

Editing

Nope. Cropped it a bit and darkened it a little bit so that the fur looked right. And a wee bit of Lightroom's built in noise reduction.

In my camera bag

My manual 12mm wide angle for big trees or the 18mm from 1981. A 180 sigma macro and a 24-70 . And a 1973 55mm if it is gonna be late. And if I can my bird lens which is now a 500mm.

Feedback

Go far from the main road and look where the parrots or urracas go. There will be fruit. And if there is fruit you might hear monkeys.
