Photographed this orangutan a number of years ago in Leuser National Park... I'm scannning slides for an agency I work with so I thought I would share this one. This image seemed to lend itself to a pano so I tried it...

Canon 1v, 70-200F2.8, Film?

Great behavior and composition. The crop works really well.

Not really too difficult they are curious and not very shy (some are) The most difficutl park is the horrific jungle conditions you have to work in (no light, oppresive heat, humidity, rain) is challenging...

This is a cool sot and the pano works well. My eye keeps getting distracted by the really OOF area to the right. I know this is forest a ways a way and was hard to avoid.
