Vigorous rustling of leaves and trees is common sight and sound in the Udawalawe National Park as families of Gray Langurs moves from tree to tree.
Seeing and recognising the leap path of numerous Gray Langurs, I prepared myself with my DSLR on burst mode to capture the next one in leap!
At this moment, my right eye is positioned behind the view-finder to frame the scene, left eye opened to maintain peripheral vision & controlled my breathing to
steady my hands.
Left Eye: “There! He leaps!”
Right Eye: “He’s in my frame!”
Lungs: “Breathe out. Pause and hold my breath.”
Index Finger: “Firm press of shutter trigger.”
Everything happened in matter of split-seconds. 1/1250s to be exact.
Join us to photograph the Malabar Hornbill and more amazing wildlife in our
7D6N Sri Lanka Wildlife Photography Safari March 2012!!
Great shot. You need a lot of patience to be a wildlife photographer.

Thank you Sonya76 :) Indeed! But it's usually the time used for waiting is also used to observe the wildlife's behavior and environment. It's not just about photography, it's about photography that tells a story :)
