Epic Photos – Monkey on Forest Walk, Singapore

A cheeky monkey hanging out on the boardwalk of Forest Walk, looking to harass a hapless tourist

There were a family of about five monkeys in this spot on Forest Treetop Walk in Singapore and taking a nice detailed shot was difficult as they are constantly running, diving, wrestling and rolling, especially the younger ones. This older female was more content to sit and watch. I was a little bit apprehensive as I have seen monkeys get a little aggressive before and a girl on Ko Phi Phi in Thailand told me a horror story about getting attacked by a large group of them. Nonetheless, this girl seemed pretty chilled out! I used a large aperture to blur the background and place the emphasis only on the furry one herself. A 300 mm zoom lens helped fill the viewfinder.
