Lowry Park Zoo Photos - Monkey Porn

I shot at Tampa's zoo Friday, lugging my tripod around so that I could get sharper photos taken with my long lens, including its extender that makes it reach the equivalent of 400mm. The problem is that the extender renders auto focus useless so I have to hope the animals will pose for me long enough to focus on them.

Sometimes they did.



Yes, you saw that right. The two gray monkeys had just completed "the deed" and the male had his, ah, extender still deployed. I noticed them going at it thinking, "are they doing what I think they're doing?" By the time I thought to take a shot, they had finished.

Here are some portrait shots. Don't worry. No monkey porn.
