Senegalese bushbaby

In the shared African exhibit in the nocturnal house. You have to be a bit lucky to see this species in my experience.

Not a bad shot of what I imagine would be a difficult subject.

Such an agile species in a nocturnal house is quite a challenge, yes, but I managed to get quite a few decent photo's. Luckily the African exhibit in the nocturnal house is not as dark as the others are and the bushbaby was moving around real close to the window.

I like very much that you did not use a flash on the animal. People who use flashes in nocturnal houses really annoy me!!

I look forward to seeing the exhibit next year. About 1991 when I first visited Antwerp I got some quite good shots in their (then) nocturnal house with a manual Canon F2 but on the many occasions I've been to Antwerp since then (it's sort of a second home) it's been closed. They seem to manage the lighting very well as it was possible to get reasonable shots using a wide aperture.

I couldn't agree more - although on only one occasion in the past I was guilty of this because I was desperate to get a shot of something I knew I'd never see again. It won't happen again.
