Snow Monkeys in Japan where I spent a little time doing a portrait shoot with a Nikon 100-400 and 135 Plena and Z8
So expressive, portraits of the monkeys in the hot spring mist just a small sample of the images from three days. These Monkeys at Jigokudani Monkey Park (地獄谷野猿公苑, Jigokudani Yaen Kōen) are all from a single troop that dominates the pool under the rule of an alpha male, the dragon king. There are hundreds of other monkeys in the park, but the hot spring pool is special and so the best portraits are these monkeys. They are quite individual, a lot of animals are cookie cutter, but some like these monkeys, or dogs for instance are both very individual and expressive making them fun to shoot as portraits and activity. I usually shoot the dogs at the Iditarod and like these monkeys it is a great portrait shoot of individuals. More fun than a barrel of monkeys.........
