Jim Brandenburg is just one of those photographers that keeps blowing me away with his photography. I learned about Brandonburg two semesters ago when professor Small showed us a quick clip. Since then, his photos have interested me in many ways. While researching him on the Internet I came across a series of photos that he took featuring wolves in the wild. It was extremely amazing that he gets so close to these particular animals. This type of animal is usually aggressive so it would be difficult to get good photos of them. He must use a camera with a huge lens because he gets these really detailed photos of his subjects. It's so cool how he captures emotion in his photographs. This is a technique that is hard to achieve photographing animals. I learned that you simply have to be patient and wait for the right time. Wolves have always been of interest to me because they are so much like wild dogs. I am a dog lover. Its amazing how wolves can be so dangerous and yet so loving amongst themselves. I learned an enormous amount just watching how Brandonburg works.
