Colubus Monkey- Mt. Kenya
A Trout-Tree Colobus. The
background blurring is called 'bokeh' and happens (in this case
deliberately) by shooting with a large (wide open) aperture to create a
narrow plane of focus- aka depth of field. Generally, the better the
lens the better the bokeh. To get this effect with a point-and-shoot
camera, try setting on the portrait mode. The scenery mode will usually
do the opposite, providing a greater depth of field.
