Day 11: Berenty Reserve
There is no shortage of stuff at Berenty! We are seeing dancing Sifaka every day. Today we had our best passes yet. I'm not sure Madahavan has the shot yet, but we are going to keep trying. The trick is to be in the right place to get the action with a good background. The next trick is to focus on a little lemur who is hell-bent on moving from point A to point B at a million miles an hour. Throw in spectacular jumps and camera operator error and you have a perfect lemur shoot! After the dancing, we followed the ring-tailed lemurs as they sunned themselves on the red sand. The shapes and colors are amazing. I also love the fact that we are the only ones at Berenty giving us freedom to go anywhere and get the right angles for our photos without bothering anyone else.
We had our first walk in the daytime Gallery Forest today. Lots of cool stuff, but the best was a white-footed sportive lemur in a cute tree hollow. There are so many pictures to edit and batteries to charge that I sit at my sweet desk and play trumpet while I process photos.
