Africa: Black and White

I was really surprise that he would get close to some dangerous animals just to take a pretty picture of it.

My favorite picture was the one were the cheetah is balancing on the branch of the skinny tree and is looking on his right to see a better view.

a.     What kind of camera did he use?

             He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses

 

b.     What is his reason for taking the photos?

               Brandt fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa. Over the next few years, frustrated that he could not capture on film his feelings about the love for animals, he realized there was a way to achieve this through photography, in a way that he felt no one had really done before.

 

c.     What is his hope by taking these types of photos?

           Taking pictures for his love of animals

 

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.^"

 

 

 

I think this picture is really cool.
