Everywhere! South Africa - 2006/7

Time: 4 sessions

Requirements:

• Photography 101
• Camera with manual functions
• Tripod if you have one (preferred, but not essential) If you do not have a tripod, DO NOT buy a cheap tripod beforehand. It will be a waste of money as cheaper tripods can in no way give you the stability you need for longer exposures.
• Long lenses are nice, but again, not essential
• Own Transport to various locations on shooting day
• Sunblock
• It's going to be a long shooting day, so pack snacks and water!
