Vervet Monkey

Nikon D200 - ISO 3200 - f/7.1 - 135mm

We saw this sneaky Vervet Monkey at Nkuhlu Picnic site in Kruger Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa. From the tree tops he would watch over the picnic tables ready to bounce down to grab his favorite foods from unsuspecting diners. In a blink of an eye he grabbed the food and was back up in trees out of reach. Throughout the picnic site crying children were heardwanting their snacks back that this thief grabbed from their hands so quickly that the reaction to the theft came seconds later after the children realized their goodies were gone. It was actually pretty funny as long as you weren't the victim!

Photography has remained a constant in my life since I was a child. I currently shoot with Nikon D7100 and a Sony NEX-6. My iPhones have gotten a lot of use as well (currently an iPhone 6+). I take pictures of just about anything, but my favorite is cars, all types of cars. Over the years I have abandoned the tripod, and do more run and gun stuff. I am pretty good at holding the camera steady, however once in a while I dig out the Manfrotto and get a few pics. I have a photo website that contains over 8,200 pictures at Photos.BhagaVideo.com, and my blog is at Harold-Brown.com. I do everything for my own enjoyment so you will see some great pics and some not so great pics. Many of my pictures are just quick shots to remember the day. I am constantly looking at what I did in the past and changing my likes and style as time goes on. Always ready for the latest and greatest and never stuck in the past.
