Animal and bird photography: Wild and not-so-wild. Copyright 2007 Wed, 11 May 2005 15:09:23 +0000 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.2 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss In 2003, I made two long trips to Central Africa, working with and photographing the Mountain Gorillas of the Virunga Mountains. This gallery shows a sample of the images from the second of those trips, concentrating on portraits of these gentle, inspirational fellow apes.

You'll be taking a camera, then. You are also about to take photographs of one of the trickier wildlife subjects around: it's not a simply matter of getting close to the subject, but of actually getting sharp and clear photographs of something dark and hairy that lives in a fairly dark and hairy environment. So this is a short note, derived from my own experience and mistakes, purely aimed at helping you decide what to take and what to do when you get there.
