Silverback


Copyright Nathan Montgomery, 2008

This image will be the first of three pictures I'll post from the primate exhibits at the NC Zoo. This massive male silverback was a tough subject. The picture was taken through fiberglass, and to the most part, he spent his time with his back to me. Of the six pictures I'll post from our zoo trip, this one is my least favorite.

You have posted two excellent animal shots. Our ground is snow covered and the river is frozen. This equates to a good chance there will be lots of eagles by the lock and dam. Hopefully we can add a beautiful bald eagle to your portfolio next week. (I wish I had a 3% success rate.)

Thanks, Dave. Looking forward to looking for some eagles. You've taken some really nice shots of them through the years. As for me, in the past, I've failed miserably. Let's hope for better luck this time around.
