Helpful Posts: Love shooting monkeys, they have so much character and personality. These two were shot during my trip last week. The vervet monkey was sitting in a tree and watching one of his relatives hop around in the branches above him. The baboon was sitting next to the road in the Kruger, looking like he's planning something evil.

Re: A Monkey or two
Like both shots -- the vervet one with it's profile shot and the expression of the the baboon. You've nailed both their eyes very well....Good job!

Awesome shots Toby, there is a Chimpanzee sanctuary about 3 miles up the road from me but I've never been there believe it or not, your shots have inspired me to maybe take a look this weekend if I can find the time

Re: A Monkey or two
I love monkeys as well. Last week at the zoo there was a very naughty chimp named Charlie, he likes to throw poop, fortunately for me he missed his target
Nice shots!
