There are so many species of animals that spend their days in the trees. Good for them, but this can make photographing them VERY challenging. The difficulty comes in when the animal is high above you, forcing you to photograph against a backlit sky.

How are you going to fix this? Are you going to NOT photograph that lemur? No! Follow this tips and techniques for getting the shot even in these challenging conditions.
