One of the world's smallest primates (D800 with fill flash)

Great work, as always, Glenn. #2 is my fav.

How did they tolerate the flash? I'd have been hesitant to use if for fear of spooking them.

Nicely done and beautifully framed. Despite the environment the background on #2, 3, 5 and 6 is stunning.

Thanks for sharing,

Thank you, Hynek

The f2 really helps smooth out the backgrounds. In these photos, the backgrounds were still relatively close to the subject. The backgrounds are more pleasing when there is more distance between there.

I enjoy capturing images of a wide range of subjects: landscapes, architecture, plants, animals, sports, people and more. I hope to use this website to share my view of the world as seen through my digital camera.

Thanks for posting. What an awesome lens that you have there, I am completely blown away by the bokeh.

Stalking that lens for a while. No clue how I could ever afford it, but love it from a distance

Yes...the lens is a pleasure to use. The bokeh is even more awesome when there is more distance between the subject and the background.

Yesterday, I captured some images of a cotton-top tamarin--on of the smallest primates on the planet. This animal weighs less than 1 pound!

I find it challenging to photograph the tamarins.
