Location
I took this photo in Lagos zoo (Algarve), Portugal.Time
Just after lunch, about 2 p.m.Lighting
Sunlight was at the peak hour, perfect for this kind of photos. No trees around.Equipment
I only used my Canon compact camera Powershot SX710 HSInspiration
The challenge is always to get a moment of a pose, a quiet minute at least. So, I usually try to "talk" with the animals and call for their attention, quietly. Then, it seems I succeeded as the monkey stood still posing for me. I loved his look and the big Moustache, which gives him a funny appearance.Editing
I simply adjusted the contrast and the size.In my camera bag
I always take with me my new Canon compact camera Powershot SX710 HS, my older Olympus VG-160, some extra batteries and, sometimes a small tripod.Feedback
Considering moving targets, the light can be perfect in a moment and not in another one. So, with a lot of patience and time, we should position ourselves and wait for the moment when the animal stays in a way that the shot is as perfect s possible.
