Frame filling shots of orangutans in Tanjung Puting National Park in Indonesia are easy to get because the orangutans there are so habituated to people. In this shot, my aim was to go a bit wider and incorporate the forest environment where they live. Seeing these large red apes swinging through their natural habitat is quite a sight. The entire forest seems to sway with the weight of their bodies. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 102mm) ISO 800, f/4.5 at 1/640th of a second
