Africa

I thought it was really smart for him to take pictures of these animals in their state of being so we can see how they are living in their habitat and how we should help them, because we don't see pictures of these animals often so we don't give much thought about how their environment really is.

This was my favorite photo because he captured the elephant at a really good angle where everything looked so perfect cause you could see the elephant with its trump in the water and nothing important got cut off.

I think the rule he used in this picture was avoiding mergers because he could have cut out the water and part of its nose but he didn't so it made it a better image, the background also makes it a better image but it does that without having anything too distracting in the photo.

He used a Pentax 67.This is important because he said he didn't use a lens to zoom in he just wanted to get up close to really capture the animal.

His reason for taking these photos is he wanted to capture these animals in their natural state of being and not being wild & in action.

He hoped to encourage people to donate a little bit of money to help and protect these animals and their habitat.

"This coming year is going to be the most bleak of all with the terrible drought that East Africa is currently experiencing, and the explosion in poaching as a result of the renewed Chinese demand for ivory."
