2 ... 2 ...Shooting in the Amazon rain forest is a tricky proposition. Much of the time you'll find yourself on a canoe in any of the hundreds of streams that lie within the huge forest covering an area from the east coast of South America to eastern Ecuador and Peru near the west coast of South America.
Shooting from a canoe with a zoom lens is a dicey situation in terms of first spotting the animals and then getting a clear photo of them.

Here's some tips:
1. Buy a zoom lens of at least 400 mm with image stabilization.
2. Shoot at at least 1000 ISO
3. Shoot using a variety of settings, with rapid fire shooting at each setting.
4. Respect the animals (if that means not getting as good a shot as you want, then so be it).

To be sure, the image below could have been clearer had the shot been taken with a camera that had a far-reaching flash unit attached, but I can't get myself to do that as it'd scare the wits out of the animals.
