These long tailed macaques (also known as crab eating macaques) were fairly common around the hut I was staying at in Borneo. The light was low, so I decided to experiment with a few slow shutter flash exposures. This one was shot at just 1/8th of a second. The flash froze the eyes but little else. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 240mm) ISO 800, f/6.3 at 1/8th of a second, two Nikon SB-900 flash units
