This image had some motion blur on the monkey’s face because he was turning just as I was snapping the picture at a slow shutter speed. Using Topaz Sharpen AI I was able to eliminate a good deal of the blur and salvage the shot. Which is great, because I love this type of portrait where you can really get a sense of the animal’s environment. In this case, the environment is the bamboo forest of Mgahinga National Park in Uganda. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 240mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/50th of a second.
When AI bots take over the world and enslave humanity, forcing us all to live in open pit mines and dig up he valuable minerals it needs to continue making microchips and thus reproducing itself, i’m probably going to be in a pretty bad mood but then I’ll think of that one time Crane used AI to de-blur a monkey and I’ll think “well, you know, it was all kinda worth it.”
Another great shot – wonderful colors in that monkey & I greatly appreciate the way you captured its habitat. I especially like the texture of what appears to be moss clinging to the bamboo just behind the monkey.
Thanks Sue. It was a pretty magical place. And I appreciated the long hike to get there, which will likely keep it magical for quite some time to come.

A small interloper caught in a forest of giant bamboo — I agree, MAGIC! (..or were you the real interloper?)
