I have a family reunion happening first week of October and although I am not photographing officially, because it is for the decendants of my grandfather I though I would have a crack at covering the event. My Aunts have hired the local showground and there are about 240 people attending, the whole event lasting from Friday night till Monday morning. Lighting will probably be full sun (Mid spring in Australia) and possibly quite warm. Could I ask you or any other Luggers for as much advice as you care to share? My only fixed requirement is that I will should use only colour film. This so that I can have them all scanned and I will have my choice of B&W or colour from any neg. I am not, nor have I ever been a photojournalist, so any tricks of the trade or ideas for this project would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Rob "B. D.
