Nice photos, man. And thanks for the virtual trip. Reading this felt like I was there. I took some jungle photography tips from this post, so chances are if I'm ever writing a jungle adventure blog, some of my photo styles are going to resemble some of yours. haha I hope you don't mind.
I've never been this proximal to monkeys in their habitat. Only few times I've been this close to them, they're mostly domesticated. I'm honestly surprised how close these guys allowed you to get such fine up-close shots.
Also, I've never seen the mangrove in person. It's a thing of the movies for me.
As for the leopard, your presumption makes sense. Leopards are not animals that would be able to lay so low and be unspotted for 20 good years. The chances of their extinction are almost certain, unfortunately.
Thanks man! :) Glad that you liked the shots and even got inspired by them but I´m actually not so happy with how some of them turned out. In fact, taking pictures in such a dense jungle is very challenging for the camera (especially if you shoot just with an old phone like me :D) as the contrast between the sun peeking through the holes in the canopy and the shades is just too strong... Eventually, some parts of the photos are overexposed while others are underexposed :/
Was a pleasure to introduce you to the monkey and the mangroves ;) Cheers!
Yeah I get what you mean. Haha what you’re disappointed about are expert level stuff. The average person won’t notice these stuff. Lol. The forest itself (and the animals) is beautiful enough already and I’m excited to try shooting from some of the angles you have. They seem to provide good pictures and views:)
Cool, enjoy! :) When surrounded by tall trees, the low angle (aiming upwards) is often the only option to get some decent pictures. Have fun and let me know when you post some of those pictures.
Sure will. Won’t be soon though as I don’t have any plans of traveling right now. Thanks, man:)
