Photography Tips
<p>Golden monkeys are more approachable than gorillas — their vibrant coats photograph well with a 200–400 mm in the bamboo's dappled light. For gorilla trekking, pre-set camera to ISO Auto (6400 ceiling), f/4, 1/250 s before entering forest. At Lake Bunyonyi shoot the terraced hillside reflections at sunrise from the canoe — use a polarizer for the best water clarity.</p>
