Mountain Gorilla and Infant by Mervyn Hurwitz

February 2025 - Mountain Gorilla and Infant

About the Image(s)

Another Gorilla picture taken in Rwanda. Although these animals are wild and live in dense jungle, they are quite placid and used to human encounter. As you can see we were pretty close 20-30 feet.
Sony A7IV with 70-200mm lens at 160mm. ISO 1600, f8, 1/100secs in Manual mode.
We hiked for 4 hours until we found this family, so unfortunately the light was not ideal.
I removed the green background and converted to B&W in Photoshop, and used Topaz AI to sharpen and denoise.

Who doesn't like a mama Gorilla and her baby. I would have liked to have seen the original image. There is so much darkness in this image that I would consider cropping in to get more of the lighter facial features of mother and baby.   Posted: 02/05/2025 00:03:08
