Macy Nelson • Arthur, ND • Age 16

Old Grainery


Macy’s winter scene was taken north of Hunter and east of Galesburg in January.  She was exploring nature scenes as part of a photography assignment when she came upon this old grainery.  “I was driving my friend home after taking pictures and saw it,” Macy said.


Macy’s favorite aspect of landscape photography is enjoying the great outdoors.  Her advice to other young photographers is to “Be patient and don’t get frustrated if you can’t get the picture right away.”


Macy is the daughter of Greg and Michelle Nelson.

Laurie Reis • Buffalo, ND

Winter’s Gate


Laurie’s photograph was taken in her neighbor’s yard in January.  She was inspired by the serene setting and explained that although this gate looks good in all seasons, it looks exquisite in winter.


When asked what she likes most about photography, Laurie responded, “it’s a way to preserve a moment in time that you will never get to see again.  It’s also a way to show people what is out there who wouldn’t normally get to see this sort of scene.”


Laurie’s husband, Randolph, recently won a photo contest sponsored by ND Outdoors Magazine.  His photograph depicting monarch butterflies in migration was the overall winner.  “Occasionally we go out and take photographs together,” Laurie said.  “People call and tell us about something we should look at.  My favorite subject to photograph is birds.”


Laurie’s advice to other photographers is to “Get out there and observe things.  You can’t take pictures sitting around inside.  Also, get as close as possible to your subjects.”
