I had the opportunity to explore the flooded jungles of the Amazon last June, and was glad to have my weather-sealed Pentax K-30 available. The birds, monkeys, and other wildlife were magnificent - we had a number of willing subjects on our frequent jungle excursions.

I spotted this young Woolly Monkey during a morning boat ride. The shot was taken at full zoom with an HD 55-300 mm lens at full zoom. He was enjoying his banana. I came home with a lifetime of memories, preserved with my Pentax.

Seek out those special places and people, and take advantage of the rugged build of your camera. You can't get the shot if you're not out there!

What a charming fellow he is.

Looks like he doesn't know how to peel his banana's yet.

Love it! The amazon is my next destination and I'm hoping to see lots of primates. Thanks for posting this.

You and your camera did very well with this shot. A true portrait that gives us some insight into the character of the subject.
