It’s been a long dry spell for me since my last adventure, but looking forward to getting back into the wild soon. I’ll be leading a tour to Kenya and Uganda in early January. The Uganda portion of the trip will be primarily for gorillas, but you never know when you might encounter a chimpanzee as well. This was taken on my last trip to Uganda, in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/320th of a second.
Can’t wait to see what photographic treasures await us after your trip to Africa. The chimp above seems lost in contemplation, unaware or unconcerned about your presence.
Great photo, Sean. Love the lateral view of this beautiful animal. There’s something about the “thumb of the foot” that always grabs my attention where chimps are concerned.

Seems to be looking at something maybe the guy taking his picture?

Ha. Always nice when the animals pay you mind as if you aren’t even there.

Thanks Laura. January can get here soon enough.

Like a second hand.
