Africa

1. I think its amazing that someone can be so dedicated to what they do. They make a huge commitment to make sure that they get just the right shot. By the beautiful moments they capture, I think they would say that its all worth it.

3. This photo is my favorite photo because I feel that it tells a little bit of a story, and I can't even imagine the risk he was taking by being do close. I also think that the Sepia factor of the photo adds a really cool mood to it. I also love how the clouds in the background adds so much to the photo, without distracting from the lion.

4. Worms eye view is clearly shown, as the shot of the lion is not straight on or above, but slightly below the lion. I also think that this photo displays simplicity, as there is not much going on in the photo.

5. Brandt uses a Pentax 6711 with two fixed lenses for his photos. This is important because the quality of the photo can rely greatly on the type of photo that the camera is captured with.

6. Brandt takes these pictures in hope to capture the real personalities of these animals, and not just action shots.

7. Brandt hopes that these photos will display a more peaceful aspect to these animals after they're all gone.
