What is Your Natural Vision?

This article was about how not every photographer is talented at all kinds of photography. In fact, most photographers excel at only a few types of imagery. The writer goes on to tell us how she thought that grand landscapes were her calling, but after going over her portfolio with her friend, she discovered that photographing subject material between 2 and 15 feet away from her camera was a style that she excelled at. 

I believe that I excel at natural landscapes. Last year in the beginning class we tried street photography and urban landscapes and I didn't produce my best work from that assignment; It just felt awkward! But I'm glad that I at least tried those styles out, because now I know what I'm good/not good at. Below is one of my favorite photo's that I took for the natural landscape assignment last year!
