Just started processing some of our images from a trip to Costa Rica Deb and I took in October and November of 2022, this shot brought back some nice memories. This is a very young juvenile Mantled Howler Monkey. The mother and this young one came to a tree one morning outside of the house we were staying near Bijagua, CR. The tree was huge-very tall, but it was also down a steep hill that sloped away from our front terrace. That put this large branch almost at eye level for us. The mother was down below looking for some Cecropia fruit and left the baby on this large branch. The baby never took his (?) eyes off her and she soon returned and shared her fruit with him. Unfortunately I had a large lens on my camera (I was trying to photograph small birds in the same tree) so I was unable to capture the entire scene. I was happy with backlit hair lighting up.
Shot with a Canon R5, 600 mm f/4.0 lens, ISO 10,000, SS 1/500, f/4.0, EC +0.3. Shadows on monkey brought up considerably and BG darkened. Cropped from R and bottom to remove distracting elements.

Very nicely captured, processed, presented!

My old mind just can’t comprehend “ ISO 10,000” and the monkey is so perfect… I remember the “grain” with ASA 400 film.
