The other day when i was at the zoo with my camera club, I saw a couple of monkeys, one in his cage with his striking fur and the other hanging from a branch. Here they are in all their glory.

These are excellent photos Laura! The first photo – if only the fella could speak. The second photo is a real ham or show off. 😍🌟

Thank you John! Monkeys are so expressive. Just amazing.
May 27, 2015 at 4:43 pm

Love the fur on the first monk and the face on the second. The second monk looks like a real character.
great shots.
May 27, 2015 at 4:59 pm
Thank you 🙂 That fur was what attracted me and the other one was such a ham!
May 27, 2015 at 5:11 pm
Nice capture and processing on the “portrait”. The white appears to be very white yet the highlights are not blown; nice job.
May 27, 2015 at 5:14 pm
Thank you so much David. I’m trying to improve my processing lately. Still learning!
May 27, 2015 at 6:47 pm
Beautiful in B&W… I can actually feel the softness of the fur! 🙂
May 27, 2015 at 7:45 pm
Hehe thank you. He looked very pettable but I’m sure he wouldn’t want to muss his hairdo 😉
May 27, 2015 at 7:14 pm
The monkey portrait is beautiful Laura!
May 27, 2015 at 7:46 pm

Awesome! Me too
May 27, 2015 at 8:39 pm
Change the face and it could be the portrait of a 1940s movie star! Very glamorous monkey. LOL.
May 28, 2015 at 7:02 am
Don’t give me any ideas!! lol
May 29, 2015 at 1:12 pm

May 28, 2015 at 3:34 pm
Laura, why didn’t you give me a packet of peanuts and a banana?
May 28, 2015 at 3:52 pm
Sorry Tommy, the monkey ate ’em!
May 27, 2015 at 11:33 pm
Hey Laura … a couple of wonderful monkey pics. I think the first one is a stunner … he is posing for the camera 😉
May 28, 2015 at 7:02 am
So glad you like the posing monkey! I found it quite humorous. 🙂
May 28, 2015 at 12:33 am
That monkey fur is glorious in all its texture!

Beautiful shots, Laura. You certainly captured the monkeys very well, letting their hair shine in the spotlight. I’m sure they were hungry for some bananas but I don’t think you waved any in their face 😀 Congrats on your store, Laura. Up and running, well done 🙂
May 28, 2015 at 7:03 am
Thank you Mabel! And yes, I sure wish I had some bananas lol. And about the store thank you…I just sold a few yesterday. Yay!
May 28, 2015 at 6:46 am
I love the monkey portrait Laura.
May 28, 2015 at 7:03 am
Thank you Cardinal. Someone else thought it was a selfie LOL.
May 28, 2015 at 12:29 pm
Hehe. Selfie. Because only monkeys take selfies and photographers take self-portraits? 😀
May 28, 2015 at 3:33 pm
looool I don’t monkey around, do I! 😉
May 28, 2015 at 8:35 am
Congrats to your store, Laura! The monkey portrait is a magnificent capture. 🙂
May 28, 2015 at 3:32 pm
Thank you Amy! I just sold two images! I’m glad you like my monkey portrait. 😀
May 28, 2015 at 9:18 am

If I had known you were the photographer hired to do my family photos this year I would have reconsidered my decision to bypass the event. Lol. (So much for any Christmas gifts this season.) Of course, your photos are amazing like always.
May 29, 2015 at 1:43 pm
You are so funny. Thanks for making me smile.
May 29, 2015 at 1:55 pm
