We've all seen many, many images of the Snow Monkeys... but I can't remember seeing a better set of images than yours Joshua.

Technically they are excellent with perfect exposures showing beautiful color and amazing detail, and your compositions frame your subjects in a captivating way.
1, 3, and 6 are my favorites, but all contribute equally to your compelling story of these Snow Monkeys.
Masterful work Joshua!

First off, these are from several years back when I did the trip in the winter to Japan. Although I spent quite a bit of time in bitterly cold Hokkaido for the Stellar eagles, snow cranes, etc. but I did make it to visit Jigokudani (Hell's Valley) on the main island, Honshu for the snow monkey. What a wonderful experience it was! I ended up spending more time than original planned at that location.

Yes, it was cold and the hot water pool that provides comfort is well loved by the snow monkeys. The pool is controlled by the dominant clan...Show more →

Awestruck! You caught so many emotions Joshua! Beautiful work.

Joshua, terrific photos of these snow monkeys. I enjoyed hearing about the dominance issues you observed at the hot water pool. These were a treat to behold!

Fascinating photos Joshua. Wildlife photos are so much better when they show emotion. This sequence has that in spades. The eyes, the demeanor - just on display. Thanks for posting.

Dave, you looked up the exif, huh

? I am replying to your post first then. Yes, I took that trip when I was still using the Canon system. And there was nothing wrong with that system, at least most of the time. From time to time, the sensor showed its weakness under certain circumstances and if pushed to the limits. I paid a lot attention the micro focus adjustment on every lens and calibrated it frequently or at least, I checked it frequently. Fortunately, I don't have to do that anymore using a mirrorless system

. Although I had my tripod then, I know for sure, the ultra wide angle images were taken handheld and frankly, I forgot which ones using other lenses were taken on the tripod and which were handheld.

Thank you,
Joshua

Thank you very much, Ken! Absolutely worth it, especially if you combine the trip to Hokkaido for some eagle actions.
