ORANG UTAN

Posted by aggie (Singapore, Singapore) on 1 July 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

At the zoo, the primates Orang Utan are quite tame and comfortable with people. This young Orang Utan was oblivious of the crowd as he enjoyed his starfruit dessert.

hahaha I love Orangutans. I find them the most interesting out of the 3 great ape (not including humans). This is an incredible shot. Well done!

hi=) find theres some wasted space below.. crops abit tight too.. o.. watch the exp settings too.. dof seems too shallow and shutter abit slow.. using d200 too.. i find pushing the iso up to 800 wont give u any problems.. 100s abit limiting sometimes. auto iso is great too.. set yr slowest shutter n highest iso.. then u free up yr attention to focus on the composition=) just my 2c =) thnx for dropping by my blog=)
