Tamarin

Uploaded: October 04, 2005

Description

Shot with a Nikkor 80-200mm zoom at 200mm. ISO 640; f2.8 @ 1/125 in RAW format

Location: National Zoo, Washington DC
Almost noon inside the primate building.
This is a crop of the original composition. As with all my digital images, I ran a "defog" USM. I also boosted the color saturation in PSE3. Interestingly enough, I experimented with the radial blur tool and found that I liked it on this one. Just a slight usage here.
