Another shot from my visit to the Boston Museum of Science. We spent about half an hour at the cotton-topped tamarins exhibit, where I tried to catch one of the three lively critters in my viewfinder. It was kind of difficult, as they rarely stood still for more than a couple seconds, and I was trying to shoot with the macro setting on my zoom lens. I eventually just aimed it at a branch that the tamarins kept going back to and waited for one to wander back into the shot. It worked, as one actually held still just long enough for me to snap about five or six pictures, most of which were blurry. This was the best of that batch.
