The feature-photo assignment posed one of my biggest challenges yet: actually getting up close and personal with OSU students, taking photos of them and asking for their names. Although originally very weary of doing so, it turned out to be a rewarding experience.

For example, I was able to capture good shots of people participating in activities that I don’t personally enjoy, like basketball, which opened my eyes to the fact that a photographer can find beauty in any situation. I was able to explore campus and see a variety of possibilities for photos, due to the multitude of people and events that bring daily life to The Ohio State University.

Although a tough choice, I decided on the two images below because I believe they are the most personal and action-packed photos I captured. They also turned out the best quality/aesthetic-wise out of the 40 or 50 pictures I took. Also, since feature photos do not merit a story to accompany them, I thought these were the two that best spoke for themselves. I was happy of my ability to capture fast-paced movement with a DSLR camera by adjusting shutter speed. Enjoy! :P
