Africa Black And White

My reactions of the PowerPoint where that the pictures where really cute and more the ones of the little animals. I actually did like it. My favorite picture of the PowerPoint was this one because, I liked it how the cheetahs are all look one way , and one of them is not.

This picture shows the rules of Simplicity and Framing, because the background is all one color , and its framing because of how all the cheetahs are all in one place.

The type of  camera he used was He photographs on medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses. He used a Pentax67II, The reason he took this picture was because , hes is a photographer who photographs exclusively in Africa one of his goals being to record a last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are destroyed by the hands of man. He wants to preserve them before they go extinct. 
A quote he said was "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."
