These are the eyes of a spectral tarsier. She is sideways, looking out from the cavity of a tree, getting ready for a night of cricket hunting. That light blotch below the eyes is the tarsier’s left ear. Tarsiers are among the smallest primates in the world, and they have one of the biggest eye to body ratios. I had the pleasure of photographing about five or six of these nocturnal creatures in Tangkoko National Park in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/2.8 at 1/25th of a second, Nikon SB-800 flash
