Tales by Light

1. The photographer was Eric Cheng. He takes underwater photography. Today, he was shooting a lot of anacondas.
2. I found it interesting that he would take pictures of animals that were so large. Also, he didn't seem scared for what he was doing. He liked being able to capture them in their normal environment.
3. I learned from this episode that these animals aren't dangerous. Being calm and quiet around them, they won't hurt us. Taking risks can make pretty cool photos.
4. This episode takes place in Brazil. He was at lakes for most of the time. It wasn't my favorite because I don't see lakes as a very clean or pretty place.
5. This was important because he wanted to show that we shouldn't be scared of these big animals. Although they may be huge, they aren't harmful. He was trying to raise awareness of the situation.

1. The photographer was Eric Cheng. He went diving in the Bahamas. There, he photographed sharks.
2. I found it interesting when they saw the shark with plastic on its fin. They wanted to help the animal. In order to do this, they carefully cut it off as the shark swam by.
3. I learned from this episode that we often misunderstand animals. Many people think sharks are hostile animals and frequently attack humans. Cheng focuses on capturing them in a gentle setting.
4. This episode takes place in the Bahamas. Although it wasn't focused on the beach, I liked the surroundings. The ocean was very blue and pretty.
5. This work is important because it shows that we can help sharks. Despite the negative stigma surrounding them, sharks can be non aggressive animals. We just have to be calm around them.
