Still going through all my shots from the Africa trip back in January and came across this one of a golden monkey that I missed on the first pass through the files. I always like when I can use a shaft of light to illuminate just the face — or in this case, the front of the body. Photographed in the bamboo forests of Mgahinga National Park in Uganda. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 240mm) ISO 3200, f/4 at 1/500th of a second.
“Light” is the essential foundation of photography. Broad, narrow or pin points, without illumination there would be no images. Your photo today is brought about by a single shaft of light that causes the golden monkey to stand out against a field of equally narrow, green shafts. It is quite a remarkable photograph, Sean, that caused me to pause a bit longer and to examine it in detail. Nice capture!
Fabulous photo!!! I often think photos tell a story, and today’s image is like how many of us feel right now: a bit claustrophobic, looking for hopeful light in the dark, pensive and earnest. I’ll keep this one nearby for a while.

That is a glorious golden monkey indeed.
