Female Crowned Lemur - stare, Palmarium, Madagascar
We have this particular photo in our living room, our first print at the massive size of 2m x 1.5m, where we usually print at 1m x 70cm. It dwarfs our other posters. Normally, such a human-sized print requires some viewing distance of about 2m. This one however persists details when almost touching the print:
(note that video compression destroys much of the color and sharpness)
None of this is to brag. The photo was pretty much point and shoot, and I was lucky for the subject to be well positioned and the light hitting the eyes in a great way. It's no demonstration of skill, just a demonstration of what a high MP camera can do and why I'm so attached to this capability.
The crowned lemur is a lemur that is 31–36 cm long and weighs 2 kg. Its tail is about 42–51 cm long. The crowned lemur is endemic to the dry deciduous forests of the northern tip of Madagascar. It eats a diet of mostly flowers, fruits, and leaves.
