I thought that this brought a whole new element to chimping, even though not a chinp.

Give me a look....

Not the best technique, but better than some I suppose

Gets the hang of it faster than most as well

The keeper was taking a load of happy snaps and was quite happy to let this little fellow have a go.......while keeping a very firm hold on her gear.

Great shots, Colin.

For some reason they don't look all that sharp. Maybe it is grain, which surprises me for ISO 1000 on a D700.

Maybe it's slightly out of focus? Or maybe the 1000 point focus of the D700 is monkeying around? :mrgreen:

Hello all,
Yes they are not well focused I was waving around the 70 - 300 Sigma on this occasion. I did not have any sort of pod as a child plus gear is enough to carry. :D
It is also a crop at pretty close to actual size so the grain really shows up with a bit of sharpening.
Glad you all got the laugh I did, .........Maybe that also gave some camera shake? :up:
