"Duh, how'd they do that?" Not to say the picture is bad, just well... https://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-57335458 Seems he used a fisheye lens, judging from the curvature of the ground, which means he must have been very close to the orang utan, maybe even a metre or less. Perhaps he put the camera on the ground looking upwards and then used a remote control to activate the shutter? And guessing more, perhaps he put some food next to the camera, to lure the monkey down from the tree? -- Alfred Molon Olympus 4/3 and micro 4/3 cameras forum at https://groups.io/g/myolympus https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Replying to myself, in the article he writes this is a reflection in a pond, camera pointed downwards. But it still looks like a very wide angle shot, so the camera must have been very close to the monkey. -- Alfred Molon Olympus 4/3 and micro 4/3 cameras forum at https://groups.io/g/myolympus https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

I wondered if it might even be from a GoPro. Still an extraordinarily creative shot. |

The Librarian is known for his violent reaction whenever he hears anyone refer to him as a "monkey" (orang-utans are apes). It? I don't think Dr. Worblehat would like that. Probably capable of tearing your head off if you upset him. For those of you sadly unaware of him: https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/The_Librarian -- Peter |

Well, here there are more details: https://www.imaging-resource.com/new...er-of-the-year "Vijayan said, 'After spending few days in Borneo, I got this frame stuck in my mind. To get this shot, I selected a tree that was in the water so that I could get a good reflection of the sky and its leaves on the tree. The water formed a mirror, making the image look upside-down. Then I climbed up on the tree and waited for hours. This is a regular path for the orangutans to use, so patience would surely pay off.'" So he spent hours on a tree, waiting for this orang utan to pass by. I guess that there was no guarantee that this monkey would come or that he would get the shot. Seems like photographers have a very high level of frustration tolerance - willing to spend hours in an uncomfortable place, hoping to get a unique shot. -- Alfred Molon Olympus 4/3 and micro 4/3 cameras forum at https://groups.io/g/myolympus https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |
