Mmmmm, tasty! errr… say ♥_♥ ba-na-nas? okay, now throw me another banana!...♫♫ wildlife from bali ♫
so, ^o^ after 1 hour of heavy rain pouring down on sacred monkey
forest sanctuary in ubud, nothing was dry. ó_ò the forest was just
dim and almost frightfully tree-ish.:P overlooking it without knowing
about its habitants, you can't imagine animals living in this place at all, or staying for long… ô_ô food left by tourists
was so precious that a group of long-tailed macaques *macaca fascicularis* paid no (ñ_ñ) attention to me sitting quietly nearby when they
sneaked down to a bunch of leftover bananas on the forest floor. ö_Ö
ô_ô here, it was necessary to use flash lighting because the tree-ish
forest was as dark as at sunset time. ò_ó an annoying element of
flash photography of animal faces is that sometimes you see a double
catchlight in the eyes, which is the reflection of the double flash
units. ó_ò it looks unnatural but here i’ve minimized the reflection
by using ring-type lighting with a total of four SB R200 units
attached to the attachment Ring SX-1. ^o^ my local assistant was
holding it nearby the macaque and i had the wireless speedlighting
commander SU800 attached to my camera.
Photography taken in Ubud - Bali – Indonesia
Better view at… / Um close melhor no... Original Size
Mmmmm, delicioso! errr… falar ♥_♥ ba-na-nas? tá ok, agora jogue uma
outra banana para mim! ♫♫
então, ^o^ depois de 1 hora diluvial de chuva pesada no santuário da
floresta do macaco sagrado em ubud, nada estava seco. ó_ò a floresta
estava simplesmente escura e quase que assustadoramente arvorenta. :P
dando uma olhada nela sem saber de seus habitantes, vocês não poderiam
imaginar de nenhuma maneira que animais vivam neste lugar ou que passem muito tempo por lá... ô_ô comida deixada
por turistas era tão preciosa que um grupo de macacos de cauda-longa *macaca fascicularis* (ñ_ñ) não prestaram
nenhuma atenção em mim, sentanda quietamente por perto, quando eles se
moveram furtivamente até às sobras de um cacho de bananas no chão de
floresta. ö_Ö
ô_ô aqui, foi necessário usar a iluminação de flash, porque a
floresta arvorenta era tão escura quanto ao horário do pôr-do-sol.
ò_ó um elemento chato da fotografia de faces de animais com flash é
que às vezes você vê um brilho-duplo nos olhos que são os reflexos das
unidades de flash duplo. ó_ò parece antinatural mas, aqui eu minimizei
o reflexo usando uma iluminação de anel-tipo com um total de quatro
unidades de SB R200 presas na argola de anexação Ring SX-1. ^o^ o meu
assistente local estava segurando isto perto do macaco e eu tinha o
speedlighting de comando sem fios SU800 anexada na minha máquina
fotográfica.
Fotografado em Ubud - Bali – Indonésia
