Here's a question: Who owns the copyright to those pics?

The Daily Mail is not known as one of the UKs finest news sources. However it is not beyond the realms of possibility - modern cameras are magical with their auto settings. Combine that with selectivity, only keeping the few pictures that came out well and it could be true.

I'd suggest the monkey should have stopped down another step or two in order to increase DoF and capture all of her visage in focus.

Ahhh.. My ex-wife has never looked more beautiful!

I'd suggest that the story was true.. He does say the monkey took hundreds, but only one or two came out in focus.. Soo... Next we lend them a few typewriters and see how long before we get Shakespere..

Looks completely legit, I see no reason for a fake job on this one. There are loads of monkeys on DPS doing the same thing every day
