To capture the perfect wildlife image, you usually have to be in exactly the right place at precisely the right time.?But in this instance, David Slater wasn’t there at all and he still got a result.?Visiting a national park in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, award-winning photographer Mr Slater left his camera unattended for a while.?It soon attracted the attention of an inquisitive female from a local group of crested black macaque monkeys, known for their intelligence and dexterity.?Fascinated by her reflection in the lens, she then somehow managed to start the camera. The upshot: A splendid self-portrait.
為了獲得一張完美的野生動物照片，你很多時候得在適合的時間出現(xiàn)在時候的地點。但是在這個案例里面，David Slater雖然沒有這么做，依然得到了一個不錯的結(jié)果。在訪問North Sulawesi的期間，獲獎的攝影師暫時將照相機放在了旁邊一下。這部相機一會兒就吸引了一只好奇的本地母猴子，這類猴子以聰明和靈活著稱。在照相機鏡頭的反射光的吸引下，擺弄了以后一會兒相機的猴子終于打開了相機。然后它開始了華麗麗的自拍。

'One of them must have accidentally knocked the camera and set it off because the sound caused a bit of a frenzy, said Slater, 46. At first there was a lot of grimacing with their teeth showing because it was probably the first time they had ever seen a reflection. They were quite mischievous jumping all over my equipment, and it looked like they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button.At first it scared the rest of them away but they soon came back - it was amazing to watch. He must have taken hundreds of pictures by the time I got my camera back, but not very many were in focus. He obviously hadn't worked that out yet.'
Slater說“他們當中某個猴子一定碰到照相機開關(guān)，于是啟動了相機。在一開始照片里有許多他們自己比劃著鬼臉展示他們牙齒的照片，這也許是它們生平第一次看到反光。他們淘氣的在我的設備周圍戲耍著，就好像擺姿勢準備照相一樣。在一開始照相機的聲音可能驚嚇他們中的一些，但是很快逃跑的那些猴子就都回來了。觀看他們的行為非常令人驚訝，當我回到設備旁邊時他們已經(jīng)照了幾百張照片了，但是基本都沒有對焦，顯然他們還沒有學會如何操作這個功能?！?/div>
