Nice character lines in this old ape. Lighting is nice from behind. I find it very difficult to get good shots at the zoo when the sun is strong and the animal is partly in and partly out. You can teach me how. Regards Ron.

Thank you Ron!
It's luck my friend. ..and convoncing your wife that you want to spend 10 more minutes waiting for an Ape to get the f' out of the damn shadow.
..and a polarizing filter, a few glasses of wine, and about 45min photoshop moving color curves around so get a good b/w conversion.
bored out of my skull too... on vacation for 4 more weeks. it's like freakin detox.
cheers,
-Joel

Oh no! You need someone who is going to have patience with you while you wait or set up for shots.

oh... she'll wait! That's the good thing! ..it's knowing that she's watching me make mistakes (and learn them with out saying anything) that's the hard part. :)
