Someone I met the other day .....

Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 27 June 2007 in Animal & Insect.

I stopped for a chinwag before visiting his neighbourhood. A nice little guy. I took his portrait. He didn't seem to really care. Little did he realise he would become a star on Am3!

Constructive feedback is your greatest compliment; caring enough to bother saying something ... thanks for visiting!

Oh and saw your comment about shutter speeds..... Anything longer then 1/30 sec and you will need a tripod. That's the rule that I stick with anyways.

What a cute photo, looks as if he might have recently been in a fight due to the red marks near his eyes? Either way great use of DOF.

What a great expression! Good catch, specially with him looking almost in your direction. Most monkeys will not look straight at you as it is an offense and provocation in their world. Perfect fur texture;)
