2. What was your favorite photo? Describe it and tell me why its your favorite
the cheetah in the tree is my favorite photo, it's zoomed in and focuses on the features of the cheetah, I like how the photo is clear and how the photographer used the rule of simplicity blurring out the background and focusing on the cheetah
3. Look up the photographer –
a. What kind of camera did he use?
medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses. He uses a Pentax 67ll with only two fixed lenses
b. What is his reason for taking the photos?
He wants to take photos of the wild animals before they are gone
c. What is his hope by taking these types of photos?
He hopes to show the animals simply in the state of being before they are gone
d. Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog
"You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close."
