Writing Assignment #1



Nature has always been a complete passion of mine, so when I found this picture I absolutely loved it.  Not only did the photographer do an incredible job in capturing this moment, but their camera settings allowed them to also get great detail in the surrounding area.  I think if I ever have the opportunity to pursue photography I would focus on animals in a natural setting.  The person who took this was incredibly brave for getting this shot; not only were they in close proximity to this potentially harmful creature, but they also were in a low position, thus having a disadvantage for running away.  I do wish that more of the leopard was in focus, so maybe if they would have used a slightly deeper depth of field, it could have captured more of its texture. My lack of experience also wonders how much of the physical environment can effect the results of a good photograph.  So in this case, could the extreme cold have slowed down or warped the camera in any way?  Either way this image is stunning, and I can only hope to capture something as beautiful as this one day.
