| Monkeys Playing |
Wonderful news - my photo titled "Monkeys Playing" has appeared in FStoppers Magazine! This photo was taken on the recent trip to Kruger National Park in South Africa, which Estee and me took. Thanks Estee for sharing this wonderful trip with me!
You can find the FStoppers article here: https://fstoppers.com/contests/best-images-gurushots-tell-story-challenge-405514. My photo is about 40% down the page.
What do I like about this photo? It shows how human the monkeys are, with the wonderful facial expressions and the inherent playfullness. I used a fast shutter speed to freeze the action, so we get one monkey in mid-air and the other ones in interesting poses. I used a low angle of view to create a dramatic photo, with the background blurring quickly. And I used an open aperture to create a shallow depth of field, so the Monkeys are in focus but the background is blurred out. There's good color contrast between the background and the Monkeys, as well.
What would I want to improve? The background is a bit too noisy, and the rightmost Monkey has his tail cropped out. Otherwise I'm happy!
