North Hempstead Polar Plunge | March 2015

This assignment required us to capture feature photographs. I decided to capture the North Hempstead Polar Plunge. This was a good feature event because there were many emotions and reactions taking place and the photos can provide enjoyment to the viewers. The photographs I have taken depict what was happening and capture the excitement that occurred.
