My reaction to the power point was amazement, i was awed by every single one of the photos in that power point, the photographer really captures the realness and liveliness of all these animals and the fact that these pictures are taken in black and white kind of give it even more of a significance.
This photo is my favorite simply because it's of elephants and i love elephants and i though the baby elephant was so cute , but another reason i chose this picture was because it looks like the photographer got down low to take this picture and it shows how large these animals really are.
Some of the rules i see in this picture are simplicity there isn't a super crazy background it's the normal place they live so it doesn't look odd or off in anyway. I also see rule of thirds with the elephant most to the left, he's on that the left line.
The kind of camera the photographer use to take this picture is called a Pentax 6711.
Nick Brandt, the photographer chose to take these pictures because while he was directing Earth Song a music video for Jackson in Tanzania, he fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa.
Brandts' hope is that he can capture these animals and his love for them through photography, in a way that no one else has before.
He says "You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundreds feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close. "
