The new part of Hope Center is now open, and its really cool! We will spend an evening just taking photos all over the new section - work on your own, shoot what you will. Ladders will be available. Besides traditional wider shots, there is also much close-up detail which will make interesting. This exercise will cause you to think creatively - angles and perspective, lighting, depth of field, and more will be a part of your brain activity. Your widest focal length lens should be a lot of fun. To add a little "spice" to the activity, I will have a couple of trivia questions for you competitive types, and a photographic challenge or two.
