my first blog

I have chose to blog about Greg du Toit. I came across this photographer while on face book one day and the images he captured I found were easy to remember. What makes his pictures interesting to me is the amount of work and dedication he put into capturing the images he did. Greg du Toit really wanted to get images of lions drinking out of a watering hole, he wanted a low angle shot with a wide angle lens so he could get the whole pride in the shot. The method in which he chose to get these pictures was to be almost completely submersed in a parasite infested watering hole and wait. It took him months to capture the images he set out to get. While he was waiting for these lions he contracted several types of parasites, some of which he could see through his skin moving around, and he contracted malaria twice.
