Bonus Photos -Winter theme
We might not have snow or ice yet, so how can you convey the feeling of winter?? Be creative & look at things differently. You may not photograph for a particular holiday, it needs to be general winter.
Keep the following in mind:
-
Try a new point of view, get down low or stand above & over your subject
-
Think beyond the obvious & and be creative
-
Photos can NOT be manipulated on the computer - capture creativity in what you see
These photos will be used for something beyond just critique, so make sure you do well on this!! The better you do, the more bonus points you can earn!
