African Pictures

1.  I saw some really detailed pictures of animals in Africa, and he used really good techniques. In the part of the reading where he said that he had to wait 18 days, that shows some dedicating. He said that he waited that long to just get 4 pictures of the lion. He had to wait for the lion to wake up and eventually he got the photo that he wanted. This photographer is really dedicated and loves to take detailed pictures of the animals in the African safari.

3. I picked this picture because it shows that the lion is the king of all animals. I can tell this just by looking at this picture, and of how confident it looks. I also like this picture because it shows that it's a windy day and it fits the lion perfectly.

4. This picture uses the rule of balance. It shows perfect balance because the picture isn't lopsided,and the weather fits this lion perfectly. Everything is perfectly balanced and the lion is the main subject.

5. Nick Brandt wants to use a different lens because telephoto lens are too easy to use because you can just zoom in to your picture. He wants to get up close to the animal because it creates personality to the photo and is in general just a better photo.

6. Nick Brandt loves taking these photos because he said that he wants to be different and in being different he wants to create photos that have personality of animals.

7. He hopes that the poachers that hunt down these animals will just stop, and leave these animals alone. Obviously it isn't going to stop completly but he wants it to dil down a little.

8. "There is something profoundly iconic, mythological even, about the animals of East and southern Africa."
