Photographer: David Yarrow

Location: Simien Mountains,

Northern Ethiopia

Equipment: Nikon D850, AF-S

NIKKOR 28mm f/1.4E ED

Situation: When I traveled to the spectac-

ular Simien Mountain range in Northern

Ethiopia, I traveled light as intuitively

I knew that I only needed to take my

“go-to” 28mm wide-angle lens. I knew

that the views are so majestic and bib-

lical from the 12,000-foot peak of the

escarpments that any image that didn’t

convey this narrative would fail. My

research has repeatedly told me that with

the right local guide, the gelada baboon

would not only be found with ease but

also that proximity wouldn’t be an issue.

This made the 28mm lens an easy choice.

The gelada is the most decorative

ape in the world—its beauty can’t be

compromised by harsh light. On a Sun-

day afternoon, there was a torrential

rainstorm, and I had all but given up for

the day. But around 4 p.m., the rain and

thunder stopped, and the escarpments

were slowly brought to life with shafts

of low, late light. And so it was that we

left the comfort of our dry camp and, in

one precious moment, I had the perfect

encounter with a male gelada in exactly

the kind of spot I would have dreamt of.

I do my job for moments like this. This

photograph hammers home the diversity

of our planet. The human was trespass-

ing in the ape’s mountain kingdom. His

eyes say everything—the conviction of

proprietorial residence for sure, but also

dignity and resolve. Meanwhile to me, it

will always remind me to never go any-

where without a 28mm wide-angle lens.
