Another from the same shoot with the WB adjusted to compensate for the lighting. Looks better I think.

Hope you don't mind but I quickly edited the lo res jpeg. Just adjusted the shadows a little bit and contrast etc.

Excellent photos mate. Just with the Orangutans are you able to bring the shadows out on a few?
Thanks Scott. The Orangutan shots are posing some fun to get the balance right between the shadows and the light sky behind them. I wont edit the ones in the thread as the link disappears but I am just working through a large number that I shot of wild Orangutan and will post when I get through them.

Try shooting black mountain gorillas ;)

We stayed one night in Kota Kinabalu and the plan was too visit the open air market. It hammered down with rain all afternoon! I walked round the market with the camera in my bag under my waterproofs looking at photo opportunity after photo opportunity :dejection:
We then went to eat at the Sedco square fish restaurant. An open area surrounded by fish restaurants where you picked what you wanted out of a tank and it was cooked for you. Again I have a thing for B&W in these situations.

​You're getting some really good people shots here. I love the seated man with the far-away look.
Thanks Jonathan. That gentleman was the head man of the Iban longhouse we visited, we had lunch with his family. I feel meeting the people and seeing their way of life is such an important part of visiting another country.
