how to shoot lightening, etc.
Complete this first, because during this week you will need to go out and shoot
at least 1 roll and possibly 2 rolls of ideas dealing with "night
photography". I want you to be developing film on , this
gives you Tuesday-Monday nights to shoot.
You will be using one of my Pentax cameras, tripod and cable releases (take care
of my equipment)!
Before you begin, please write down at least 6 ideas (yes you can try different
ideas once you start, but you need to have a plan!)
Use your imagination, my expectations are very high for
your projects.
