11 things to keep in mind..

...when going on a photography practise outing with friends:

1) start off bright and early... but remember to on your mobile phone so that your friends can reach you to get directions to your house

2) choose a good place.. preferably with no admission fee.. like the putrajaya botanical garden..

3) if carpooling, ensure that your friends either like to sing or doesn't mind the noise polution in the car...

4) go with friends who are fun and doesn't mind posing for silly photos

... and doing silly things that may cause them some discomfort..

5) it's best to go with people who shares your interest in photography.. especially when they have a better camera.. :P

6) of course, you can't go without friends who're willing to model for you..

.. especially when they're so sweet..

7) bring some props if possible...

... and make sure you use it..

8) try to go with friends who're patient.. who doesn't mind waiting for the slowpoke who usually lags behind taking photos...

9) make sure you capture the name of at least 1 place to prove that you've been there..

10) pray that it doesn't rain until you're ready to leave..

11) should always end your photography session with a scrumptious meal at an out-of-the-way place.. remember you should get lost first, so that when you do get to your destination, the food will taste extra yummy..
Or.. you can scrap the above and just remember this... the most important thing of all is just enjoy the company of your friends and Have a Blast! :)
