The Monkey and his Coconut

19. September 2018

I was visiting the Monkey Forrest in Ubud – this is by the way one thing you must do if you should ever visit Bali!

The story behind this photograph was very funny because I had to chase this little monkey for like 15 minutes until he cracked his coconut!
When following this little buddy, they started feeding the other monkeys. He was hungry and the coconut still not open. All the other monkeys wanted to steal his coconut, but they were not successful. At the end, when he finally had it open, he presented himself with his trophy to show the whole world what he can do!

Rules are meant to be broken

One of the photography rules I follow (almost strictly) is to never center an object. What do you want to do if this just looks good?
“Never Center the Horizon” is another rule. One of my all-time favorite photographs I ever took is the reflection of a mountain in the water in Iceland. Guess what? Yes, the horizon is centered!

There are no rules prohibiting doing things if you like a photograph – if you like it the way it is, screw the rules!

  • Do you want to learn photography?

    Do it with me and jump over to my store. There are several eBooks and presets I have been working on over the past few years – no kidding, it took me quite some time to make all this happen! And I am still working on it, there is more to come!
