Nature
For Katie's first individual assignment, she chose to shoot nature. Katie chose to shoot nature because of the familiarity and weather conditions. She has never shot nature pictures when it had snowed, so it challenged her to incorporate "winter" into the nature theme. Her favorite picture is #1 because the photograph is split into three sections, which adds to the picture. She also like #5 because of the reflection of the tree in the water. Overall, nature was a good challenge for Katie because she wanted to shoot in the snow, but also had to remember the effect snow brings to a picture, especially when the sun is out. This led her to burn her pictures in some areas where it was too bright. She also challenged herself by taking multiple vertical pictures, which is not common when she is shooting for a photo assignment. All in all, Katie really enjoyed this photo assignment and being able to pick her own project. Below are Katie's six pictures.
