Africa Pictures

1. I really liked this powerpoint. The pictures the photographer took were amazing photos. 

2. 

                                                      3. This is my favorite photo because it looks so surreal. Almost too good to be true. To me this photograph looks as if the lioness is looking at the horizon admiring something. 

4. The rules of photography that are evident here are the rule of the thirds; its evident here because the lioness is in the bottom right and the focal point is in the top left. 

5. Nick Brandt; 
 The type of camera he uses is the Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses. 
His reason for taking photos is that he wants to capture the animals soul. He doesn't use telephoto lenses because he wants to get up close to the animal. 
His hope in all this is to capture the animals as if they were human. 
" ...What i am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of being. In the state of being before they no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist..."
