1. One website I can use to better prepare myself for a location I want to shoot at is Google Maps or a website about the location. 2. I can download Google Earth or Street View. With these apps I can see the location in first person. 3. One of the biggest problems with shooting with a telephoto lens is that with the wide lens you can't focus on a certain subject as well. 4.

Student athletes already spend the whole week working then have to wake up early Saturday morning to go to another one. That means they can't hang out late Saturday. It can interfere with their social ...

1. I should make sure I feel strongly about the topic. 2. I should use a lot of detail and not make generalizations. 3. I think that I should try to not repeat I a lot, make connections, and to list only some facts if it is a personal opinion. I should also avoid getting off topic.
