Feature photography and the unique ways of shooting it

    Finding feature photos is about keeping your eyes open for something new that may happen during any situation. 
      No matter what time it is, when you see something interesting, stop and take a picture.      
   You never want to be the one saying "Man, I should have stopped!" 
      When shooting features always try to show photos that are interesting, rather it be through the angle of the shot, height, location, or even a unique vantage point. Shoot photos in a way viewers rarely see.
      Shoot feature was very interesting; I spent time with the culinary arts class at Owens Community College.
      Chef instructor  Gretchen, was very welcoming and open to the idea of me taking pictures for my feature photography assignment. 
      The day the class welcomed me in; they were making sausage from scratch. Although I'm a sausage lover I found this experience a little challenging. Yuck!
   Students worked well together as their instructors guided them and tasted the prepared sausage.
      The only thing I have to say is, I am the kind of person who doesn't need to know every detail of preparation for my food.
      Overall, my experience was very pleasing and worth my time for my feature.
      I would like to thank the instructor Gretchen and Lab Assistant Amy Morford and students for allowing me to take up some of their time.
