We spent almost 30 minutes with this troop of vervet monkeys in the Savute area of Chobe National Park. These 2 youngsters were very playful but also very shy, keeping behind the bushes and branches for most of their frolicking.
I was happy to get a few images when they were being affectionate and appeared quite interested in the camera's shutter sounding.
This works well as a vertical crop but I quite like this as presented (full frame), showing the OOF bark of the fallen camelthorn acacia on which they were playing.
Techs:
Canon 7D with 300mm f2.8 L IS USM + 1.4x TC-II (420mm)
f5.6 @ 1/800 SS @ ISO-800
Flash fired from 580EX as they were in the shade.
