Santa Elena Cloud Forest, part 2

Here is another shot with the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 in the Santa Elena Cloud forest.

Handheld, I propped against the railing of a wooden bridge. John and Andrew were on the bridge but soon, Andrew would get off it. The platform on the bridge became more stable. I took a breath and as I exhaled, depressed the shutter release button. I shot a couple of times. Both pictures turned out really good, even when shot at f/16 for 1.5 seconds.

  1. Excellent shot, handheld for 1.5 seconds wow, that is a difficult one.

  2. I think you will really enjoy the Encantado trail in Santa Elena, but you need a lot more time than we had. We were rushing through it because of the bus schedule.

    The Santa Elena cloud forest was nice. I started to wonder if another less-visited cloud forest would offer more opportunities to catch a glimpse of a bird or two, or some howler monkeys (we heard them in Santa Elena but did not see them), and more critters.
