[|Mark J. Thomas] is a well known animal photographer.
===[|Talking pictures]: There are some beautiful photographs on this blog, as well as tips on how to take better pictures. I contacted the photographer and author of this blog, Natasha Mhatre, asking her about what it takes to be a great animal photographer like her. Here is her response:=== "You have to learn a lot of different skills to be an animal photographer.

[[image:bird_rosy_starlings_DSC7186.jpg width="266" height="176" align="right"]]
You need to learn about cameras and all the different photography equipment that is available. Cameras are complicated tools, they can do many different things, particularly newer digital cameras. You have to learn how to use your camera very well to get it to produce the image you want. Knowing your tools well allows you to react quickly when something happens that you want to take a picture of. The best way to learn is to practice by taking lots of pictures. You should look at the pictures you got and then think about what would work better and try again until you succeed at making the picture you want.

You also need to learn about the animals you want to photograph. First you need to find out where the animals that you want to take pictures of are. You have to learn about their habits and daily routines. Then you have to find a way to get sufficiently close to them. Some photographers wait close to a source of food or water which animals frequently visit.

Most animals are quite shy and run away when you come close to them or try to take pictures. There are many tricks that photographers use to make animals get over their fear of humans. One trick is to hide themselves in different ways using a camouflaged hide or by using camouflage clothes.

It is always important to be patient, to sit still, not make sudden movements or noise, even before the animals have arrived. Only if they think that you are not dangerous will they come close and begin to behave naturally. This is the best time to take pictures.

Animal photography often depends on a certain amount of luck, some days nothing happens, other days exciting animals might be around but they might get scared off. If you use these tricks though you can improve your chances, and maybe get to watch something few people will ever have the privilege to see and get that rare and beautiful picture."

What kind of difficulties confronted the escaping slaves? Why were the slaves willing to tolerate these difficulties in order to find freedom?
=YOU ARE FREE AND LIVING IN THE NORTH.= =WOULD YOU HAVE HELPED A SLAVE ESCAPE TO FREEDOM??=

Once slaves made their way north, they were not free. Escaped slaves still faced danger in the North due to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
===The law gave slaveowners "the right to organize a posse at any point in the United States to aid in recapturing runaway slaves. Courts and police everywhere in the United States were obligated to assist them" (Blockson, 11). Private citizens were also obligated to assist in the recapture of runaways.=== =__Furthermore, people who were caught helping slaves served jail time as well as pay fines and restitution to the slaveowner.__=
