Photography - monkey business

On Sunday a few of the TipTop Photography Club travelled north to Monkey Forest in Trentham, Staffordshire.

Monkey forest is 60 acres of beautiful woodland and meadows where 140 monkeys live in total freedom - home to Barbary Macaques its the most amazing place.

The weather was good - we were all there bright and early and what an amazing day we had. Camera's ready, batteries fully charged and memory cards packed.....oh Keigo forgot his bag but never mind we improvised with a strap instead!

Because the Barbary Macaques roam free you are able to sit down on a bench, shoot away and let them carry on around you. The animals behave exactly as they would in the wild...lots of noise, arguing and lots of playing.

Here are a couple of images from the day.
