Always looking for new photo subjects, Marissa Bilbrey saw an opportunity
last summer right after a sun shower. “The sun shower was a strange occurrence
in that it had rained for a few minutes when there wasn’t a cloud in the sky,”
Bilbrey says. “I had been hoping to take a few pictures of water droplets, so I
headed out to my front yard and found this iris.”
Bilbrey, a junior at East Ridge High School, took the photo, which she calls
“Purple Rain”, with her Nikon D3200. “My favorite subjects are sunsets and other
components of nature, and I also like doing little photo shoots with some of my
friends,” she says. “This was the first photo contest I have entered, and I plan
on entering the next Focus on Woodbury photo contest, as I am grateful for the
opportunity to share my pictures with people.”
