SmugMug > keywords > venezuela > A Howler monkey lookin' at me from a tree. It's a shame pictures can't convey what these things sound like when they start howling - they sound like jet engines. LOUD jet engines. Quite amazing. Location: Orinoco River Delta, Venezuela Lens used: 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 IS
SmugMug > keywords > venezuela > Nearly all of the iguanas I've seen on my travels have been tree dwellers - are they all like that? - usually in swamps, where there is water below. This makes for a pretty easy escape path in case of danger - just drop out of the tree and into the water. That is what we had this day when we took a small boat out into the swamp and water channels. We heard the loud splashes of beasts ditching all around us. After a few hours of hearing splashes, I was about to resign myself to not getting a single iguana photo when we came upon this guy. Unlike his iguana friends, he seemed okay with us maneuvering our little boat nearly under him, where I got my shot. They're quite colorful, in a subdued sort of way.

SmugMug > keywords > venezuela > The young kids at where we were staying were always keen to let us know if it was wise or not to touch any of the often amazing-looking caterpillars that we came across. Most were fine to do so. This one, found crawling across our picnic table one afternoon, got a chorus of head shakes from the kids. We didn't know what would have happened if one of us had been bold enough to touch it, but as none of us did it never became an issue. Cool-looking bug, though.

SmugMug > keywords > venezuela > Capybaras are the largest rodents in the world. Yes, rodents. Think cute guinea pig, rather than sewer rat or house mouse. I recall having a guinea pig when I was quite young, named "Ralph". He wasn't very cuddly. Kinda like a wild capybara, I suppose...though I've read that it isn't unheard of for capybara to be domesticated and made into pets. Now THAT could be interesting! I don't know if this photo is of a male and female or simply of two same-gendered capybara of differing size. I know I'm a little front-focused in this shot. I'm hoping it doesn't distract too much.

SmugMug > keywords > venezuela > I managed to catch photos of several leaping pink Amazon River Dolphins during my trip. Remember - this was in the wild. Certainly not an easy thing to do, but not impossible with a couple basics and a little luck: Use AI servo, use your fastest fps shooting mode, and shoot from the chest with a 'medium' focal length for your lens (if it's a telephoto zoom). I could see advantages from locking one's MF, also (though I kept mine on AF). By far the best trick, though is the shooting from the chest. There is no way you'd be able to find and compose a shot by looking through the viewfinder. Though I didn't have a camera with live view at that time, I'd suspect even that would have been too slow. By shooting from the chest, you can still get a good clue as to where the camera is pointing and still have the ability to swivel and shoot when you hear the first sound of the water's surface being broken. At that point, hold down the shutter and try to track your subject as best you can. At least, this is what I did. Location: Orinoco River Delta, Venezuela Lens used: 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 IS
