Africa

I personally liked this powerpoint a lot, just because of the subject.  It was not boring at all and it can some very unique photos.  I also liked the black and white, the softness of the photos gave the background of the animals to be in a kind of mystical place and it worked to the photographers adavantage.

My favorite photo would probably have to be the one of the lion laying down in a field under one big leaning tree that is leaning over the lion giving a perspective that the tree could fall on him.

To capture a completely different perspective of wildlife in its natural habitat

"I had always wanted to somehow capture my passion for animals visually, and it was only when I visited East Africa that I realised that there was a way to achieve this"
